Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is one of the most common and costly conditions in clinical practice, yet its evaluation and management remain inconsistent and often ineffective. This CME/CE program aims to simplify CLBP management by presenting an evidence-based, clinically practical framework derived from multidisciplinary insights across neurology, anesthesiology, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation(PM&R), orthopedics, pain medicine, chiropractic care, and Physical Therapy (PT). The activity focuses on the four primary diagnostic entities: myofascial pain, lumbar facet arthropathy, lumbar radiculopathy, and sacroiliitis, providing clinicians with clear guidance on characteristic exam findings, targeted diagnostic maneuvers, and corresponding treatment strategies. Learning Objectives: Utilize validated clinical, patient-reported, and diagnostic tools for accurate pain assessment across diverse patient populations and care settings. Understand and apply current pharmacologic, device-based, and non-pharmacologic pain therapies tailored to individual patient needs. Enhance interprofessional communication and care coordination to reduce fragmentation, duplication, and inconsistent patient education. Empower patients through shared decision-making, education, and support for treatment adherence.
