Mike interviews Cynthia Konrath owner of Moderni Spine about Fibromyalgia. They discuss symptoms, causes, and treatment options for people with Fibromyalgia. Morderni Spine Website: https://www.modernispine.com/ About Cynthia Konrath "Since graduating PA school, my medical specialty revolved around spine orthopedics and pain medicine. I started at a small local pain clinic where I saw a lot of personal injury and motor-vehicle related injuries and developed a lot of my procedural skills and medication management.
I then continued my career at Rayus Radiology (formerly CDI) where I gained a portion of my knowledge on spinal radiology and interventional spine procedures. I did however miss using my own procedural skills. I most recently ended my "W2" career at Summit Orthopedics working in non-operative spine orthopedics and was able to learn additional procedural skills as well as reinforce my other competencies. Even prior to 2017 I had always dreamt of having my own clinic......my own practice. As I continued working in different clinic scenarios it just became more and more evident to me that this was the time to try....so I curated Moderni Spine."
