Applying pain neuroscience education across a multidisciplinary team

In this episode of Pain Science in the Trenches, Christina Sando, DPT sits down with Eric Rebne, PT, DPT to explore applying pain neuroscience education as the Spine Navigator and how physical therapists can transform the patient experience long before surgery is ever considered. One of the biggest takeaways from this conversation is that some of the most impactful work in spine care happens before a patient meets with a surgeon. Through early education, thoughtful triage, and collaboration across a multidisciplinary team, Spine Navigators help ensure patients receive the right care at the right time. In this webinar, we discuss: What a Spine Navigator is and how the role has evolved How patients are triaged into the most appropriate care pathway Incorporating pain neuroscience education into spine navigation The importance of communication across a multidisciplinary spine team How this model can improve the patient experience and healthcare outcomes Lessons other clinicians and health systems can apply to their own practice Whether you're a physical therapist, physician, physician assistant, nurse practitioner, occupational therapist, or another healthcare professional working with people experiencing spine pain, this conversation offers practical insights into delivering more coordinated, patient-centered, and evidence-informed care.
