Bertolotti Syndrome: Interventional and Surgical Evaluation, Management, and Treatment

Developed by the Section on Interventional Spine and Musculoskeletal Medicine (ISMM), this webinar explores Bertolotti syndrome—low back pain associated with a lumbosacral transitional vertebra (LSTV)—an often-underrecognized source of persistent lumbar symptoms. Faculty will review clinical presentation, patient selection considerations, interventional treatment strategies, psychosocial factors influencing outcomes, and indications for surgical management. Attendees will gain practical insights to help distinguish symptomatic LSTV from other pain generators and develop more effective, individualized treatment plans across the continuum of care.

Multifidus Dysfunction in Mechanical Low Back Pain: Can You Diagnose It and Do You Know How to Treat It?

Multifidus dysfunction is increasingly recognized as a distinct and treatable contributor to mechanical chronic low back pain, yet it remains underdiagnosed in routine practice. This webinar reviews the pathophysiology of multifidus inhibition, practical clinical and imaging strategies for identifying the condition, and evidence-based rehabilitation and restorative neurostimulation treatment options. Faculty will also discuss patient selection, outcomes data, and how multifidus-targeted therapies fit within contemporary multidisciplinary spine care pathways. Designed for clinicians managing chronic low back pain, this session provides a practical framework for recognizing and addressing an important and often overlooked pain generator.

From Awareness to Action: Bone Health Optimization, Osteoporosis Education, and Secondary Fracture Prevention in Spine Care- The National Spine Health Foundation Model

Co-branded with The National Spine Health Foundation, this webinar highlights national efforts to close persistent gaps in osteoporosis identification, education, and secondary fracture prevention across spine care. Faculty will introduce the National Spine Health Foundation’s Bone Health Task Force framework, clinician and patient education resources, and recent survey findings that reveal opportunities to improve care delivery. The session also explores value-based care strategies and coordinated approaches to integrating bone health optimization into routine spine practice. Ideal for clinicians seeking practical tools to strengthen osteoporosis screening, patient engagement, and fracture prevention pathways.
DATE: TBD

Interdisciplinary Approach to Evaluating Lumbopelvic Pain in Rotational Athletes

Presented by the Section on Sacroiliac and Pelvic Girdle Pain, this webinar explores the complex relationship between spine, sacroiliac joint, and hip pathology in athletes who rely on rotational movement—from adolescent competitors to aging recreational golfers. Faculty from biomechanics, physical therapy, and orthopedic spine surgery will outline practical evaluation strategies to help clinicians distinguish overlapping pain generators and refine diagnosis. Through case-based discussion and interdisciplinary perspectives, attendees will gain tools to guide targeted treatment planning across rehabilitation, interventional care, and surgical pathways. Ideal for clinicians managing athletic and activity-related lumbopelvic pain across diverse patient populations.
