Evidenced-Based Evaluation and Treatment of the Cervical Spine (Randall - Online)

Course overview

Neck pain is a common complaint among the general population and studies indicate that the overall incidence of neck pain is increasing worldwide. Clinicians need up to date, evidenced based, assessment and intervention tools to effectively treat this common condition. Evidence shows that a classification framework to identify which patients respond best to certain treatments results in superior outcomes when compared to a non-classification approach. Therapists can learn these newer models of classifying and treatment of the impairments associated with neck pain. This workshop will outline the various classifications of patients who present with neck pain and identify which interventions are most effective for each stage of the condition. The assessment and reasoning skills gained from this course will allow the clinician to immediately apply evidenced based treatments to their practice setting and improve not only functional outcomes but patient satisfaction.
