Restorative Neuromodulation for Patients With Multifidus Dysfunction (Recorded Webinar)

Course overview

This course is a recording of a previously hosted live webinar event. Polling and question submission features are not available for this recording. Format and structure may differ from those of standard Medbridge courses. Chronic low back pain (CLBP) remains the leading cause of disability worldwide and continues to pose a significant challenge for clinicians. In recent years, rehabilitation providers have encountered updated models and treatment techniques, moving away from traditional interventions focused on motor control and muscle function. A growing body of research has identified a strong link between lumbar multifidus muscle dysfunction and CLBP, challenging the long-standing view that most CLBP is nonspecific. In fact, sufficient evidence has led to the implementation of an ICD-10 code specifically for multifidus dysfunction (M62.85) to guide accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. This webinar will cover the development, supporting evidence, and recommended rehabilitation process for patients with CLBP who receive restorative neuromodulation-an electrical stimulation treatment targeting multifidus dysfunction. The webinar is intended for physical therapists and athletic trainers working in an outpatient setting.
