MCAT Virtual ShopTalk March 2021: “Urgent and non-urgent treatment pathways for athletic spine injuries”. Marc Levine, MD – Director Spine Surgery Program RWJUH/Hamilton

In this virtual educational session for athletic trainers who live and work in Mercer County, NJ, Dr. Levine discussed spinal conditions and his algorithmic approach to determining treatment plan. We discussed which urgent and non-urgent findings warrant referral to an orthopedic spine surgeon, and reviewed some common spinal conditions athletes deal with.

Objectives:

  • speak to spinal anatomical considerations and how radiographic findings differ in normal vs pathologic cases
  • be able to create a treatment path from critical physical exam and subjective history findings dictating treatment care plans
  • demonstrate comfort in addressing fundamental spine issues in the athlete
