Lumbar spinal stenosis related conditions and considerations

Description

Journal Club #34

Date: 25 August 2025

Duration: 70 minutes + 10 mins Q&A

Topic: Lumbar spinal stenosis related conditions and considerations

Presented by: Michael Zo

Do you manage middle aged or older patients with lumbar radicular leg pain or radiculopathy? There is a very good chance that their leg problems are associated with lumbar spinal stenosis. In this webinar, we will go over some of the typical and atypical presentation of lumbar spinal stenosis related problems affecting lower limbs. We will also cover the key differential conditions as well as navigating patient expectation, prognosis and management pathways of these conditions.

About the presenter: Michael is physiotherapist who currently works in both Te Whatu Ora and private ACC orthopaedic clinic in assessing and providing management pathways for patients presenting with spine related problems alongside an orthopaedic consultant.
