@chadcookpt @MSKPhysioJnl I also acknowledge my clinical treatment bias. 😆

[Steve Karas PT @Steven_AK]

@chadcookpt @MSKPhysioJnl I can appreciate that with chronic neck pain...my concern is lumping all chronic LBP into nonspecific LBP. To me, it would be like doing a study on "nonspecific headaches" or "nonspecific knee pain." I would not expect a meaningful effect with any nonspecific population.

@DrDunning @DrSethPT @IvanDodlek95 Thats seems to be a recurring issue w PT RCTs. Lack of treatment fidelity.

[Steve Karas PT @Steven_AK]

@DocBorelli @DrDiGiorgio @CharlieRuland MRI r overused. Irrelevant most of the time and abused by MDs who own MR machines. Its a scam ay worst and unneeded lazy or defensive medicine at best. Data supports this!

[Steve Karas PT @Steven_AK]

@DrSethPT @GregLehman We presented a critique of the L-sp @JOSPT CPG’s 1.0 at @AAOMPT When u assess the evidence, ROB, inclusion, exclusion, subjects…it is time well spent if u tx that pop

@kcrehabguy Lots if interventions help short term. No one is safe from the lack of EBM for longer term benies.

@AdamMeakins @AAOMPT Id agree that rotation or distraction forces should be abandoned. 💯 I think you’d enjoy the conference!
