Evidence-Based Treatment of the Cervical Spine: An Update

Video Runtime: 87 Minutes; Learning Assessment Time: 47 Minutes

In the course, learners will experience the recommended evidence-based interventions for the cervical spine. Users will recognize the more prevalent cervical pathologies seen in musculoskeletal practice and understand the proposed benefit to classifying cervical conditions through use of the Pain and Disability Drivers model. Techniques used to target the primary impairment are explained, as well as the adjunctive techniques used to target the primary impairment, secondary contributors, and global conditional issues. Learners will analyze the effectiveness of each technique for treatment within the classifications. Throughout the course, current research is presented to provide learners with the proper tools for evidence-based management of these patients. This course is part of a comprehensive clinical series covering examination and intervention for the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine, as well as the upper (shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand) and lower (hip, pelvis, knee, foot, and ankle) quarters.
