Cervicothoracic Manipulation
This is a 2-day, 16-hour introductory course on HVLA cervicothoracic manipulation, theory, and practical application, with a focus on enhancing autonomic nervous system homeostasis. It’s built on years of learning from DO’s, DC’s and PT’s, along with over a decade of clinical application. Various aspects from these different professions are incorporated into this course. A wide variety of techniques are discussed in-depth throughout this course, with focus on providing safe and effective clinical manipulative treatment.
How to treat high-level athletic impairments, headaches, cervicogenic dizziness, thoracic outlet, and other impairments with manipulative techniques is covered throughout the course.
How to utilize Dry Needling in conjunction with manipulative therapy is also covered in-depth throughout this course.
Students will learn the skills required to perform safe and effective cervicothoracic manipulative techniques to properly selected patients.
Significant time will be spent on safety, biomechanics, and neurovascular anatomy & physiology. This course centers on hands-on, practical experience with partners.
Additionally, this course will include history taking, informed consent, set up procedures, relative and absolute contraindications, efficacy, physiology, global and local forces generated during manipulation, controversy regarding the utilization of manipulation, cervical arterial dissection, and evidence-based research.
