Who is Dr. Corenman?
Donald Corenman, MD, DC is one of a handful of orthopedic spine surgeons with a background in chiropractic medicine. After completing his Doctor of Chiropractic degree and residency in Chiropractic Orthopedics, Dr. Corenman was left wanting more. While his education had answered many questions about the mechanics of the spine, it had also piqued his interest in gaining a deeper understanding of the spine. As a result, he decided to continue his training to become board certified in both Chiropractic Orthopaedics and Orthopedic Surgery. Dr. Corenman has been a partner at The Steadman Clinic in Vail for over 20 years where he has had the opportunity to pursue his passion for helping both patients and professionals better understand the spine through his research and educational programs.
His educational websites and the course Lumbar Spine A-Z are the culmination of Dr. Corenman’s 30 year professional pursuit of an in-depth understanding of the spine. Participants liken his seminar to the equivalent of a “spine fellowship in a weekend” presented in a user-friendly, easy to comprehend format.
What educational resources do we offer?
Who should become a member of our website?
Medical Doctors – emergency department doctors, internists, pediatricians, family practice physicians and radiologists – who have responsibilities that include diagnosing and treating the spine and would like a more comprehensive understanding of diagnosis and treatment.
Spine Professionals – physical medicine, rehabilitation physicians and rheumatologists – who would like to interpret filmed MRI findings without a report including an in-depth interpretation of standard X-rays. Chiropractors
Chiropractors who wish to fit into a more traditional medical model by better understanding disorders in their clinical training or office situation such as unusual presentations (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Chiari syndrome or congenital scoliosis).
Physical therapists who wish to better serve their patient with more training in diagnostic and image interpretation.
Radiologists who would like to understand the clinical presentation such as location of pain (leg vs. lower back or breakdown of pain distribution), the history and aggravating factors since MRI reports can sometimes be incomplete or miss certain diagnostic findings.
