Help patients suffering from spinal stenosis restore mobility and maintain independence!

Degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis (DLSS) is a leading cause of pain, disability and loss of independence in patients over the age of 65. As a result of DLSS, the elderly tend to lead a sedentary lifestyle which negatively affects their quality of life and life expectancy. In the next 15 years, there will be an explosion in the number of people suffering from DLSS due to the aging population.

The Boot Camp Program for Spinal Stenosis^© is an evidenced-based, non-surgical approach developed at Mount Sinai Hospital by Dr. Carlo Ammendolia. Impressive program results have been instrumental in securing the funding of two randomized clinical trials at the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Toronto. Chiropractors should be the experts and go-to professionals for the non-surgical management of DLSS.

Workshop attendees will receive 6.5 CE structured credit hours. Participants who complete the workshop will be listed on www.spinemobility.com  the official website for The Boot Camp Programs. Seats are limited, so register early!
