62: Pain Reframed PSA | Physical Therapy as a First Point of Care

It’s our second Pain Reframed PSA! Today, we’re discussing an article titled “Physical Therapy as a First Point of Care to Treat Low Back Pain” by Dr. Bianca Frogner (link below). Specifically, there’s also discussion relating to opioids being the first point of contact and care for many patients.

Obviously, a huge goal of Pain Reframed is to keep individuals away from opioids as much as possible. This article showed that individuals who saw a PT first had a significantly lower percentage of opioid use. Enjoy this episode and we hope you check out the article as well!
