OVERVIEW

April 18-21, 201229th AAOM ANNUAL CONFERENCE & SCIENTIFIC SEMINARHyatt Regency, Pier Sixty-SIx Resort and Spa, Fort Lauderdale, FL

NEEDS ASSESSMENTThe treatment of chronic pain is a complex and multifaceted problem. The faculty of this conference offer the participants detailed instruction in the use of prolotherapy and orthopaedic medicine to treat the laxity of ligaments that often cause chronic myo fascial pain. Due to an aging population, more active lifestyles and patient desire for the relief of chronic pain, orthopaedic medicine techniques including prolotherapy provide effective and safe treatments.

COURSE DESCRIPTIONThe 29th AAOM Annual Conference and Scientific Seminar will provide both lectures and practical instruction workshops on the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of orthopaedic medicine concerns. There will be anatomical reviews, discussion of research, RIT lectures/workshops, discussion and workshops on platelet rich plasma just to name a few.

GOALS & OBJECTIVESCourse Goal: Participants will receive a comprehensive review of anatomy, pathology, and pathophysiology of joint injury and degeneration. Participants will learn treatment and rehabilitative methods including injection therapies, OMT, Orthopaedic Medicine and nutritional and hormonal therapies to treat common pain conditions.At the end of the course, participants will be able to:• Understand the available research on regenerative injection (Prolotherapy) treatments,

including applications in pediatric, adult and elderly populations.• Perform, Evaluate and Interpret Diagnostic Ultrasound of the Hip, Knee and Ankle.• Explain the biology of proper healing and the disease processes that impede healing of

musculoskeletal tissue.• Describe the pathophysiology of spinal segment sensitization and its role in chronic pain.• Perform physical medicine examination and interventions in cases of spinal segment sensitization.• Perform hands on diagnosis to determine sources of chronic non-malignant pain.• Assess several injection techniques and solutions for treating chronic pain.• Perform various Intra and Extra-articular Injection treatments for treating pain conditions.• Describe investigational use of Platelet-Rich plasma and Autologous Stem Cell Therapy

for treating Knee Osteoarthrosis.• Perform some examination and evaluation methodologies for the knee, hip/pelvis,

shoulder, and foot/ankle.• Propose how various exercise and rehabilitation strategies can be integrated into

treatment protocols to enhance proper healing of musculoskeletal tissues.• Understand Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment in chronic pain conditions.• Propose how injection therapies can be integrated into treatment protocols to enhance proper healing and affect chronic pain conditions.• Determine appropriate use of diagnostic ultrasound to aid injection needle placement in

musculoskeletal structures.
