Musculoskeletal Primer for the Non-Orthopedist

This CME activity focuses on providing a biomechanical and anatomic framework for physicians to understand musculoskeletal medicine, providing a clinical paradigm and confidence that clinicians can apply to all musculoskeletal injury care, reducing referral needs, improving recovery timeframes, and reducing the possibility of condition relapse.

In this course, you will :

Examine a patient for fundamental musculoskeletal conditions related to posture, ergonomics, and biomechanics.
Reduce the use of narcotic pain medications while increasing the use of physical modalities (physical therapy, acupuncture, myofascial or active release techniques) by combining biomechanical and trigger-point diagnostic approaches.
To target the root cause of pain and dysfunction, differentiate between common musculoskeletal conditions based on patient history and mechanism of injury.
Manage musculoskeletal injuries by using imaging studies to guide treatment and referrals.
Educate patients on how to perform independent home exercises, and obtain an online stretching source for patient referral.
