Amy Kuhns Earns Certification in Magnetic Resonance
January 25th, 2012
Amy Kuhns Earns Certification in Magnetic Resonance Imaging from American Registry of Radiologic Technologists
Amy Kuhns, Radiologic Technologist at Midwest Orthopaedic Institute, has recently been certified in Magnetic Resonance Imaging by The American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT). In earning this credential, she adds the initials “(MR)(ARRT)” after her name.
Amy graduated from Kishwaukee College in 2001, with an Associates Degree in Radiological Science. She has worked at Sherman Hospital in Elgin, IL and is currently working at Midwest Orthopaedic Institute in Sycamore, IL.
ARRT’s credential assures patients that Registered Technologists who conduct medical imaging, interventional procedures, and radiation therapy have completed the prescribed educational preparation, passed the appropriate exam, and pledged to abide by stringent ethics requirements — all of which assist them in delivering safe and effective patient care. ARRT ensures their continuing education and ongoing ethics compliance by requiring annual registration of certificates.
The American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) promotes high standards of patient care by recognizing qualified individuals in medical imaging, interventional procedures, and radiation therapy. Headquartered in St. Paul, Minn., it tests, certifies, and annually registers more than 300,000 radiologic technologists across the U.S.

Get new shoes! Those old comfy sneaks feel great to lounge around in but they are not providing you with the stability that you need. Especially if you are doing more than just lounging around.

PHYSICAL THERAPY MONTH – ACTIVE TIP #4
September 26th, 2011
PILLOWS SHOULD SUPPORT YOUR HEAD AND KEEP THE SPINE IN A NEUTRAL POSITION
TOO MANY OR TOO LITTLE IS A PROBLEM
- DO NOT SLEEP ON YOUR STOMACH – IT IS BAD FOR THE CERVICAL SPINE AND LEADS TO FURTHER PROBLEMS.
- SLEEPING ON YOUR BACK – PLACE A PILLOW UNDERNEATH YOUR KNEES TO TAKE PRESSURE OFF YOUR LOWER BACK.
- SLEEPING ON YOUR SIDE – HAVE A PILLOW BETWEEN YOUR KNEES AND ELBOWS TO SUPPORT THE BODY AND NOT OVERSTRETCH THE TOP SIDE AND OVER CONTRACT THE BOTTOM SIDE. A PILLOW BEHIND YOUR BACK OFFERS MORE SUPPORT IF YOU FEEL UNSTABLE.
