THE CLINICAL PICTURE
Mission Statement:
To enhance the clinical acumen of professional healthcare students and progressing young clinicians to enhance their diagnostic skills to assure highest quality evidence based medical care.
The Clinicians Complete Guide to -
Neuromusculoskeletal Evaluation and Documentation
Neuromusculoskeletal Evaluation and Documentation
The educational materials available in this website provide a focused and core reference guide that will advance the clinical skills of students and clinicians who manage patients with neuromusculoskeletal conditions.
Today's evolving health care environment is rapidly progressing toward an integrated, patient centered, and holistic approach toward patient care. The evidence-based practice (EBP) demands that the clinician apply best-case practices to ensure best possible patient outcomes. The clinician must continually improve his or her knowledge, judgment and skill set. It is axiomatic that expanding and enhancing clinical acumen is mandatory in today's competitive and demanding healthcare environment.

He served as an examining officer of the American Chiropractic Board of Orthopedics and American Chiropractic College of Infrared Imaging. Dr. Conwell is Level I Accredited by the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment.
Dr.Conwell served as Clinical Educator-Resident Training Supervisor, Department of Clinical Sciences, University of Bridgeport, Bridgeport, CT in 2018. Dr. Conwell received an appointed to the teaching faculty at Washington University of Health and Science, College of Medicine, Belize, Central America in 2014. As the visiting Professor of Neuroscience, Dr. Conwell taught neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, and neuropathology to medical students from all corners of the globe including Canada and the US. Before his medical school faculty appointment, Dr. Conwell was the Medical Director, Colorado Infrared Imaging Center from 1999 to 2014. This freestanding infrared diagnostic facility evaluated patients from throughout the United States who were suffering from complex chronic neuropathic and somatic pain syndromes, predominantly Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) by their treating physicians. From 1994 to 1999, Dr. Conwell was the Medical Director, Department of Infrared Imaging Imaging, HealthOne Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, Denver, Colorado. In addition to his IR imaging center responsibilities, Dr. Conwell continued to evaluate and treat patients with neuromusculoskeletal conditions of the spine and extremities for over 30 years in multidisciplinary clinics.

Dr. Conwell was appointed to serve on numerous multidisciplinary task forces for the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment that published treatment guidelines for the cervical spine, lumbar spine and Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). Numerous states have adopted these guidelines.
Dr. Conwell has presented papers in the United States, Europe, and South America on autonomic nervous system (ANS) disorders, chronic neuropathic pain, and the utilization of IR imaging in this complex patient population. Dr. Conwell was honored, as one of the international speakers, to present multiple papers during the Fifth Interdisciplinary Congress on Pain (CINDOR 2011), University of São Paulo, School of Medicine, São Paulo, Brazil. Dr. Conwell has presented papers at NYU School of Medicine, University of South Florida Medical School, Auburn University and at numerous medical conferences. He was the principal investigator and co-author of the landmark paper, “Stress Infrared Telethermography is Useful in the Diagnosis of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, Type I (Formerly Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy)”, published in The Clinical Journal of Pain, 1997. Dr. Conwell currently serves on the editorial board for Thermology International. This indexed journal is the recognized journal for Medical Thermography/IR imaging in the world. Dr. Conwell is a member of the editorial board of DC Tracks. Dr. Conwell currently serves as a member of the International Scientific Committee of the European Association of Thermology.
Dr. Conwell has had the privilege and honor to serve as an executive board member of the American Academy of Thermology, American Chiropractic College of Thermology (ACA), American Academy of Medical Infrared Imaging (American Herschel Society) and Colorado Chiropractic Association.
