This course will demonstrate how to easily incorporate multiple modalities in the treatment of commonly occurring musculoskeletal complaints and how to do so in limited time constraints.
The American College of Osteopathic Family Physicians (ACOFP) is accredited by the American Osteopathic Association (AOA) to provide osteopathic continuing medical education for physicians. ACOFP designates each workshop for a maximum of 2.0 AOA Category 1-A credits and will report CME and specialty credits commensurate with the extent of the physician’s participation in this activity.
