Diagnosis and Management of the Lumbosacral Spine and Sacroiliac Joint

Course overview

Once there is an initial injury or insult to the lumbar spine, the lumbar segment (especially de disc) begins to go through a lifespan of changes. Dr Valerie Phelps and Dr. Jean-Michel Brismee explain in this online course why low back problems can become persistent disorders and how not only mechanical, but also chemical, psychosocial, and nutritional factors can play a role in both the recurrence and the recovery of lumbopelvic conditions. The IAOM-US Diagnosis and Management of the Lumbosacral Spine and Sacroiliac Joint online course takes an in-depth look at primary and secondary pathoanatomy, biomechanics, basic and segmental clinical examination and interpretation, management suggestions and specific approaches to diagnose and treat lumbar and pelvic related disorders. This course emphasizes didactic or theoretical content that is delivered through online lectures and materials (emanuals*: course slides, study guide and suggested reading). This is a self-pace on-line course available 24/7. You can start and stop your viewing time as needed. It is segmented into lecture modules plus a final quiz to gauge your understanding. The study guide is provided to help focus your learning experience and prepare you to apply this knowledge into your daily clinical practice. This online course is the perfect complement to the Differential Diagnosis and Musculoskeletal Management of Lumbar Spine and SIJ hands-on, lab-based portion.
