On Saturday, the Back Talk continuing medical education program will focus on different diagnoses and treatments and will feature concurrent sessions. These next series of blog entries will highlight these special interest symposiums.
One special interest symposium entitled, The Healthy Spine, will be presented by Alta Skelton. Alta is a nurse practitioner with Indiana Spine Group.
During this session, Alta will be discussing how lifestyle can affect the health of one’s spine. She will address exercise, posture, obesity, smoking and the role of nutrition and diet; and how these key lifestyle factors affect the spine. Additionally, Alta will discuss key characteristics that dispose an individual to spine problems.
