In this episode of the PTJ Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Steven George, PT, PhD, FAPTA, talks with Amee Seitz, PT, DPT, PhD, and Kyle Strickland, PT, DPT, about their recently published perspective, which presents a modified emergency department treatment-based classification system for low back pain with three case examples. Listen as the authors discuss the “origin story” of the algorithm, how the emergency department creates a unique setting for physical therapy, and why patients may be more open to trying nondrug treatment options.

Seitz and Strickland are co-authors of the article "Application of Algorithm-Based Treatment Approach to Low Back Pain in the Emergency Department.” Read the articles on the PTJ website and follow PTJ on LinkedIn and Bluesky for more research updates.
