A full day conference
Please join us for our Spine and Joint Care Conference. The goal of the conference is to provide a spectrum of evidence-based information to healthcare providers that will enhance their ability to determine the best possible treatments for their patients who suffer from spine and joint pain. Spine and joint pain can severly limit quality of life and a proper diagnosis combined with optimal, individualized treatment can help patients gain freedom from pain and return to work and play.
