Arabic Understanding Lumbar Spine Pathologies

Lumbar Spine Pathologies: Assessment & Differential Diagnosis
This online physiotherapy CPD course provides a structured and practical understanding of lumbar spine pathologies, focusing on accurate assessment, differential diagnosis, and informed clinical decision-making.
The course covers a wide spectrum of pain generators—including mechanical, inflammatory, degenerative, acute, chronic, central, and peripheral causes of low back pain. Key conditions such as disc herniation, facet joint syndrome, spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, and sacroiliac joint dysfunction are explored in detail, with emphasis on clinical presentation and red flag identification.

Designed to support patient-centred care, this course strengthens physiotherapists’ ability to integrate assessment findings into safe treatment planning and appropriate referral decisions.
