    Evidence-based Approach to Radiculopathy Recovery
    Regional Event: ne

    End Date: 03/26/2023 9:40 am
    Location: St. Augustine AB
    Session details

    Course Description

    Radiculopathy can be a challenging clinical presentation by patients. Understanding the clinical approach toward a proper diagnosis can lead to a more effective treatment. Traction therapy has been used in health care as a modality for centuries. Research over the past decade has demonstrated mixed reviews (due to study design) of its effectiveness – until now. Learn about the clinical approach to evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment including the evidence behind traction and its effect on Cervical and Lumbar radiculopathy and how you can provide a treatment approach in-office that incorporates traction.

    Learning Objectives

    • Learn clinical examination procedures for cervical and lumbar radiculopathy
    • Review the literature on the therapeutic effectiveness of traction
    • Understand the dynamics leading to effectiveness in treating disc lesions with traction and traction with motion

    Biomechanics of Sagittal Plane Spine Displacement, Altered Sensori-Motor Control, and Abnormal Neuro-physiological Function: Does True Corrective Care Improve Outcomes?
    Regional Event: national

    Location: Celebration 5-6
    Session details

    This course provides an integrated education for the Doctor of Chiropractic in the Science and Art of chiropractic analysis and management of patients with abnormalities of cervical spine posture and radiographic misalignments in the sagittal plane.  Biomechanical and neuro-physiological aspects of cervical sagittal plane alignment will be reviewed. Several case-control investigations seeking to understand the relationship of postural displacements to sensorimotor control, general neurophysiology, and selected performance variables will be reviewed and discussed. Emphasis will be placed on understanding analysis, patient deficits, and rehabilitation procedures for affected populations. An update-to-date review of randomized trial outcomes will be presented discussing the utilization and efficacy of selected corrective spine rehabilitation treatment techniques.

    Learning Objectives

    • Sensori-motor control definition and clinical evaluation methods utilized in populations with cervical spine subluxation: head repositioning accuracy, smooth pursuit motor control, center of gravity balance platforms, athletic skill tests.
    • Review regarding the cervical lordosis, and anterior head translation and health outcomes in recent randomized trials will be presented.
    • Case-control investigations will be presented looking at the relationships between sagittal cervical posture and: 1) sensorimotor control, 2) sensorimotor integration, 3) athletic skills, and 4) chronic whiplash impairment.
