Description

This is a three-day seminar emphasizing interpretation of basic science knowledge toward the development of clinical skills
needed for differential evaluation and effective treatment of spinal dysfunction. General principles of functional anatomy,
tissue and joint biomechanics, pathology and treatments are applied to clinical examination and treatment. Includes instruction
and techniques of evaluating structure, active movements and palpation for condition, position and mobility of the spine.
Manipulation techniques are instructed at all levels of the spine except the subcranial area. Supportive treatments, such as
exercises and distraction, are instructed and practiced to a limited degree. At the conclusion of the seminar, the student should
feel confident to examine and treat most common spinal conditions.
