27th AAOM ANNUAL CONFERENCE

The Athlete and Orthopaedic Medicine

The Ritz Carlton, Amelia Island, FL - April 28 - May 1, 2010


Dear Colleague:

The AAOM's 2010 Annual Conference will convene in Amelia Island, Florida. The host hotel, The Ritz Carlton, Amelia Island is a place where magnificent live oaks and Southern charm meet Florida's warm ocean waves and white sand beaches. Just 20 miles from Jacksonville, located on a grand stretch of the island’s 13 miles of coastline, the Ritz Carlton, Amelia Island hotel will provide AAOM Conference attendees with an unforgettable escape.

The AAOM 2010 Annual Conference is being held on April 28 – May 1, 2010. The conference; titled "The Athlete and Orthopaedic Medicine" will be highlighted by several nationally and internationally renowned orthopaedic medicine authorities speaking on a variety of different topics. Unique to this meeting will be the presentation of Orthopaedic Medicine treatments for athletes, athletic injuries and recovery. The conference is designed with didactic sessions followed by hands–on diagnosis and treatment sessions, harking back to the early days of the AAOM and why this method of teaching and learning was so effective.

On Wednesday, we will again be offering a full day of pre–conference workshops. Two seven–hour workshops will begin at 8:00 am, "Diagnostic Ultrasound of the Shoulder, Elbow & Knee: Introductory Hands–on Course" and "Nutrition and Hormones for Healing Sports Injuries–. On Wednesday evening, we will offer two 3–hour workshops; "Topographic Anatomy for Needle Placement" and "Hands on Diagnosis". The Thursday, Friday and Saturday General Sessions and Workshops will cover topics on Injection Therapies including, Prolotherapy, PRP, Mesotherapy with an emphasis on the "athlete" patient. As part of each day, we will introduce Adjunctive Therapies; such as hormone replacement, supplements, and nutrition and explore their impact on the healing process. The General Sessions and Workshops will also include lectures and demonstrations on the use of radiography and ultrasound as both diagnostic and guidance tools; we will look at and demonstrate most of the current alternative solutions for prolotherapy as well.

There are many reasons why the novice, as well as the experienced practitioner will not want to miss this conference. The 2010 Conference is shaping up to be exceptionally informative and valuable. Come and enjoy the 27th AAOM Annual Conference in sunny Florida. I look forward to seeing you there!

2010 AAOM Conference Program Chairman

COURSE DESCRIPTION

The 27th AAOM Annual Conference 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.

NEEDS ASSESSMENT

The 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.

GOALS & OBJECTIVES

Course Goal: Participants will receive a comprehensive review of anatomy, pathology, and pathophysiology of common sports injuries. Participants will learn treatment and rehabilitative methods including injection therapies, OMT, Orthopaedic Medicine and nutritional and hormonal therapies to treat common sports injuries.
At the end of the course, participants will be able to:
  • Perform, Evaluate and Interpret Diagnostic Ultrasound for Upper Extremity and Shoulder and Knee Injuries.
