MSK Navigator

10/08/2025

🧭 Introducing MSK Navigator — your clinic’s GPS for better MSK care

What began with the Primary Spine Provider Network (PSPN) has evolved into something bigger and more practical: MSK Navigator (https://msknavigator.com/) — an online membership that brings together CE, tools, and clinical guidance, all in one place.

Here’s what’s new (and why it matters in clinic):
✅ Full MSK coverage – not just spine. Shoulder, knee, hip & more — organized to speed up decisions.
✅ Ready-to-use tools – decision guides, patient handouts, diagnostic infographics & more.
✅ Plug-and-play patient engagement – full email sequences you can start using today.
✅ Live clinician support – bi-weekly lunchtime sessions to troubleshoot real-world issues with peers and experts.
✅ CE included – 13+ hours (and growing) focused on pragmatic, patient-centered care.

Because you were part of PSPN, you’re eligible for PSPN alumni pricing: 50% off your first month of MSK Navigator.
👉 Use coupon HALF-OFF at checkout to claim your discount.

MSK care is getting more complex — clinically, operationally, and financially. Navigator makes sure you’re not left to figure it out alone.
