This week, we welcome Dr. Paul Mintken to discuss, with us, the role of the physical therapist in solving the opioid epidemic. This viewpoint was recently published in the May edition of the Journal of Orthopaedic and Sports Physical Therapy by Dr. Mintken, Dr. Jeff Moore, and Dr. Tim Flynn. Dr. Paul Mintken is at the CU Physical Therapy Program in Denver, Colorado where he is a full professor, clinician, and researcher. One of Paul's main pursuits is to help move the profession forward and educate students and younger PTs entering the field. Don't forget!! It's almost here!! June 8-10, 2018 in Denver, Colorado, the Align Conference will be taking place, focusing on neuropathic (nerve) pain.  All of the various concepts of calming the nerves down will be covered at this conference.
