on-demand Pediatric Pain Changes the Brain: How Therapy Treatments Can Be More Successful

Course overview

Are your pediatric patients uncooperative or seem difficult to treat? They may be experiencing underlying pain that impairs their ability to assimilate stimulation and information properly. This course will provide practitioners with a deeper understanding of methods in recognizing, evaluating and treating their pediatric patient population. Attendees will be able to illustrate the somatosensory neurological networks, sensory fiber types and differentiate types of pain. Clinicians will learn about the pediatric pain experience and how pain information is received, processed, recorded and replayed. This course will provide techniques to treat acute injuries, chronic pain, birth trauma, tremors, high/low tone and pre-/postoperative pediatric patients. Clinicians will learn evidence-based manual therapy and neuroplasticity techniques to restore healthy neural network connections and achieve better outcomes for their patients. Case studies will demonstrate how to employ some these methods. The techniques employed in this course instruct therapists to treat the source of the challenges and promote more rapid recovery.
