Back Talk: A Comprehensive Review and Practical Approach to Spinal Diagnosis and Treatment.

Mark your calendars, and plan to join us!

Date: November 11 & 12, 2011

Location: Renaissance Hotel | Carmel, Indiana

Back pain continues to be a major health care issue. Not only is it one of the main reasons for physician visits, but it is also one of the most common reasons for missed work. According to the National Institutes of Health, back pain affects eight out of ten people at some point during their lifetime. This symposium will provide the latest information for the diagnosis and treatment of spinal disorders and abnormalities.

At the conclusion of this conference, attendees will be able to:

Perform a comprehensive diagnostic examination and evaluation of patients that present with back and neck pain, including the identification and etiology of normal and abnormal spinal anatomy and conditions, and the effects of the degenerative cascade of the spine.
Identify the diagnostic indicators and treatment options of patients with common and uncommon spinal disorders and abnormalities with a thorough understanding of non-operative, minimally invasive and operative treatment options, and the clinical indications of selected treatments.
Discuss overall spinal health and wellness with an understanding of the role and importance of lifestyle and other wellness factors, e.g. diet and exercise, and the recommended prevention and screening guidelines.
Review case studies of common spinal disorders and abnormalities, and discuss indications of imaging studies and diagnostic procedures, appropriate treatment protocols, clinical indicators and expected outcomes.
Highlight the latest research, emerging treatment options and technology in spinal care with its applicability to the patient care model.

This one and one-half-day continuing medical education symposium will feature general and concurrent educational sessions, and new this year are clinical workshops that will be hosted at the Medical Academic Center (located just north of the Renaissance).
