New Direction-Specific Lower Back Pain Pathways Available
This month, we’ve released specific protocols within the Low Back Pain Pathway to help providers tailor their patients’ exercise programs even more. Now, when a clinician assigns a pathway, they can select the base low back program, a specific flexion-based program, an extension-based program, or an advanced program.
Pathways is our Digital MSK Care platform designed to improve access to care, enhance digital engagement, and help reduce the cost of care across systems. We have early customers who have started using Pathways and we’re excited to offer it to more customers soon. Learn more about MedBridge Pathways and request a demo.
