Indiana Spine Group

Back Talk | A Comprehensive Review and Practical

Approach to Spinal Diagnosis and Treatment

Another concurrent continuing medical education session will be an interactive workshop and will provide an in-depth look at the patient exam. A live model will be utilized to discuss common patient complaints that are seen and evaluated in the primary care setting.

This session will address both the cervical and lumbar patient exam. During this session, the speakers will review clinical algorithms in the diagnostic triage of patients suffering from neck and back pain. Additionally there will be a review of the necessary documentation specific to patient complaints, diagnostics and treatment.

The speakers for this session are Alta Skelton, RN, MSN, NP-C (a nurse practitioner with Indiana Spine Group), and Jodi Hettermann Blume, PA-C (a physician assistant with Indiana Spine Group).
