Low back pain (LBP) continues to be the primary condition treated in outpatient physical therapy. There is much emphasis on classifications, assessments, and interventions for treatment of LBP. While it's understood that we need to consider neighboring regions during assessment and interventions, there have been a number of case studies published recently highlighting the importance of considering the vascular system for patients presenting with LBP and lower extremity symptoms. While a vascular cause may be less common, this module will highlight how lower extremity peripheral artery disease can contribute to LBP and will review the tests that can help identify peripheral artery disease.

Lower back pain (LBP) is the most common condition bringing patients into physical therapy. Though traditional treatments and examinations for LBP are often explored, it is important to consider other body systems that may contribute to the patient's pain.This course will provide a case example of a patient who has been experiencing lower back pain and will give insight on the assessment of all body systems needed to identify and/or rule out nonmusculoskeletal system origins of symptoms.
