Title:       Evaluation and Rehabilitation of the Low Back Pain Patient - 6 CEs

This course has been approved by the KBCE. PACE Pre-Check #: 58803

 

This is an evidence based, interactive program that covers a Chiropractic patient from examination to rehabilitation. Some important topics such identifying red flags, consent and outcome instruments are discussed. A discourse of muscular imbalances, their causes, identification, consequences and treatments are considered. Evaluation procedures such as the squat test, muscle length and strength testing are incorporated in a practical way that is compatible for use in the busy Chiropractic practice. Conditions such as nonspecific Low back pain, Spondylolisthesis, Lumbar disc lesions, Sciatica, and Sacral iliac joint dysfunction are a few of the conditions discussed.
