About The Event
Enhance your clinical skills with a full day of practical, hands-on training focused on the cervicothoracic spine and shoulder complex—two of the most commonly treated and technically challenging regions in chiropractic practice.
This interactive seminar begins with a review of the biomechanics of the cervicothoracic spine and shoulder, followed by extensive hands-on instruction in palpation and adjusting techniques designed to improve confidence and precision in patient care.
Participants will also learn how to perform functional assessments of the cervicothoracic spine and shoulder girdle as the foundation for effective rehabilitation planning. The course will explore the differential diagnosis of stability versus mobility dysfunction, management strategies for acute and subacute patients, and practical rehabilitation techniques using elastic resistance exercises and kinesiology taping.
You’ll leave with evidence-informed techniques and rehabilitation strategies that can be implemented in your practice immediately.
