SPINAL MANIPULATION

COURSE


COURSE DESCRIPTION 


 

This course is  designed for students, new grads, and experienced clinicians who feel they lack the confidence to use thrust manipulation of the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine. This course will teach the clinical decision making used for spinal manipulation, current statistics, analysis of outcomes from clinically relevant research, safety measures and screening required prior to providing this manual intervention in order to increase the confidence of therapists to implement manual therapy into care for patients with pain.  Additionally, students will be taught the psychomotor skills to perform spinal manipulation techniques of the cervical, thoracic, lumbar and sacroiliac joint regions as well as mobility exercises to compliment the manual techniques learned.

  • Plenty of Free Parking.

  • Snacks and Refreshments will be provided.

  • Approved for 17 CEU's in NJ/PA and 16.28 in NY.
