Therapeutic Strategies for Degenerative Joint Disease Overcoming Pain and Improving Function from Shane Malecha

Description:

Diagnostic methods and clinical keys for evaluating DJD
Options and strategies for preventing or delaying arthritic changes
Rehabilitation and recovery methods for returning adult patients to an active lifestyle
Case studies and practical laboratories

For many adults, an active lifestyle is just a way of life. The process of degenerative joint disease or arthritis often stops them in their tracks. Getting patients back into action, while limiting patient re-admissions and managing to reduce payment for multiple Medicare procedures and limit treatment costs , are challenges you face every day. Visit this workshop and get valuable tips and strategies to solve these problems.

Join Shane Maleche, PT, DPT, MS, CSCS, and explore concepts of degenerative joint diseases in a way that makes a confusing and often unanswerable topic interesting, understandable, and applicable to your next patient interaction. Case studies and mock patient presentations not only make the workshop fun and engaging, but also bring concepts to life, allowing you to create a mindset that can be applied when the patient is in your office. Shane will guide you through the assessment process, detailing the main stages of the pathology, assessment methods, and concepts, in particular, including skills for evaluating and treating a degenerative joint.

You will learn about non-surgical and surgical interventions that are currently used to treat patients with DJD, as well as the latest rehabilitation protocols that will bring the patient back to active status.
