Spinal Trauma Pathology

Course overview

This course is engineered to understand the full extent of the connective tissue injury-repair mechanisms inclusive of ligaments, muscles (strian/sprain), tendons and spinal discs. It covers both the microscopic and gross anatomy in tissue morphology and tissue repair morphology with evidenced based explanations. The course also goes into detail of how trauma creates permanent pathology from a spinal biomechanical engineering standpoint. Furthermore, the program combines the spinal biomechanical engineering principles (physics) with physiology (evidenced verified) to be able to age-date pathology while concurrently introducing new disc nomenclature using the same principles.
