Course Name: Navigating the Maze: Understanding Radiculopathy, Discopathy, Stenosis, and Myelopathy in Chiropractic Care

Instructor: William Moreau, DC, DACBSP, FACSM

Hours: 2.0 (General Category)


Course Description

This two-hour course is designed to help Doctors of Chiropractic confidently diagnose and manage complex spine-related conditions commonly encountered in clinical practice. With a focus on radiculopathy, discopathy, spinal stenosis, and myelopathy, participants will develop a deeper understanding of these often-overlapping conditions that can present with confusing and evolving neurological symptoms. Emphasis will be placed on differential diagnosis, neurologic red flags, and evidence-informed pathways for chiropractic intervention.
 

Through lecture, case-based discussion, and practical clinical frameworks, attendees will learn to identify when conservative care is appropriate and when referral or collaborative care is warranted. This course empowers chiropractors with clarity, clinical tools, and confidence to navigate even the most complex spine and neurologic presentations.


Learner Outcomes

Participants will be able to:

  • Differentiate between radiculopathy, discopathy, stenosis, and myelopathy using clinical history and examination.
  • Perform key orthopedic and neurologic tests relevant to spinal cord and nerve root dysfunction.
  • Identify red flag symptoms and signs that require urgent referral or advanced imaging.
  • Develop safe, evidence-based chiropractic care plans for patients with confirmed or suspected spinal cord or nerve root involvement.
  • Recognize the unique presentations and management challenges in special populations, such as aging patients or athletes.
  • Apply clinical decision-making strategies to determine when to continue conservative care and when to co-manage or refer.
  • Document examination findings and clinical impressions that support appropriate coding and medico-legal defensibility.
