In this video introduction, the goal is to come away understanding all the disorders in the lumbar spine, how to diagnose them and how to appropriately treat them. By the end of the course and the subsequent lectures, participants should be able to:
(1) Understand the anatomy, biomechanics, pathology, degenerative and traumatic injuries that occur in the lumbar spine
(2) Develop the ability to take a thorough, accurate history
(3) Understand how to perform a meticulous, reproducible physical examination (using videos of actual patients with pathological responses recorded during an examination)
(4) Develop the knowledge of what imaging studies are appropriate and how to order these studies
(5) Develop skills to interpret these imaging studies such as X-rays, MRIs, CT scans (with or without myelogram) and bone scans
(6) Apply analytical skills to evaluate all collected information and develop a differential diagnosis.
(7) Understand the foundations for rehabilitation therapy and use of manipulation
(8) Develop the ability to recognize thoracolumbar spinal trauma and understand conservative and surgical management
(9) Understand the benefits and pitfalls of neurological consultations with EMG and NCV testing
(10) Understand adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and how to manage this disorder
(11) Understand adolescent lower back disorders and how to manage these disorders
(12) Understand the role of diagnostic and therapeutic injections in treatment of spinal disorders
(13) Understand the indications for surgical intervention and what surgeries are appropriate to specific conditions
(14) Understand how to communicate and relate findings to other practitioners and understand the different specialties that are involved in spine care.
Low back pain is the second most common reason to visit a physician. Low back and neck pain are the first and fourth causes of years lived with disability. There is more money spent on the spine than the next two or three diseases combined. $50 billion are spent to treat disorders. 80% of the population will have disabling low back pain in their lifetime. Everything is management, you are not going to cure the patient of what mechanical disorder they have even if you are a surgeon.

With more than 30 years of experience, Donald Corenman, MD, DC, is a highly-regarded spine surgeon, considered an expert in the area of neck and back pain. His training as a Doctor of Chiropractic early in his career did not satisfy his desire for a deep understanding of the mechanics of the spine. This led him to medical school where he completed his Doctor of Medicine, Orthopedic Surgery Residency and Spine Surgery Fellowship. His study of spinal disorders and deformities brought him to Vail, Colorado where he joined The Steadman Clinic in 1994. With personalized clinical care a cornerstone of Dr. Corenman’s practice, he has been awarded the “Top 10 Doctor Award”, “Patient’s Choice Award”, “Compassionate Doctor Recognition” and is consistently recognized by Becker’s Spine Review in “Top Spine Surgeons to Know.”
Dr. Corenman has published two books: for patients, “Everything You Wanted to Know About the Back: A Consumers Guide to the Diagnosis and Treatment of Lower Back Pain” and for the medical community, “The Clinician’s Guidebook to Lumbar Spine Disorders: Diagnosis & Treatment”. He is passionate about educating patients on spine anatomy and disorders, so they have the ability to partner with their physicians in finding the most effective treatment for their back pain and disorders. His focus on peer education earned academic appointments as Clinical Assistant Professor and Assistant Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, and his research on spine surgery and rehabilitation has resulted in the publication of multiple peer-reviewed articles.
