Interesting...relate on three fronts...1) I'm definitely O40/50 (actually O60) and have lower back degenerative disease..Xrays, no MRI, PT next. 2) wife is an MD (radiology) so she sees lots of what the article talks about. 3) younger son, HS senior wants to purse PT in college like your daughter...college decision between pre-DPT program vs. Athletic Training undergrad, then DPT. What was your daughter's path to DPT school?
