The symposium will address evidence-based treatment options for the musculoskeletal patient; the symptoms, diagnosis and treatment options for musculoskeletal disorders; conditions and prevalent diagnoses that affect patients at specific life stages; factors affecting these diagnoses along with prevention, diagnosis and treatment, and new and emerging technologies for the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders and abnormalities.
