ONSF 2014 Medical Conference

On Saturday, November 8^th orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, radiologists, sports medicine specialists, physiatrists and physical therapists will address the 6th Annual ONSF Medical Education Conference. The focus this year will be on treatment of musculoskeletal issues unique to females.

Females have different anatomic, physiologic and endocrinologic concerns that must be considered in tailoring care of non-operative and operative treatment of musculoskeletal issues. Care of musculoskeletal problems in females will span the gamut from the adolescent female (such as adolescent idiopathic scoliosis) to the adult woman (such as osteoporosis and risk of fragility fractures.) Speakers will discuss special considerations in conditioning for female athletes and care of the injured female athlete. Musculoskeletal conditions unique to the pregnant woman will be covered, including exercise during pregnancy as well as treatment of special problems encountered during pregnancy such as low back pain and carpal tunnel syndrome.  Keynote speaker, Joan Lunden, a renowned author, journalist and TV host, will share her perspectives on women’s health.
