Management of Common Conditions 202

Course overview

*Discuss different types of lumbar stretching and their effects. *Define therapeutic stretching goals, protocols and precautions for the lumbar spine. *Measure lumbar pain, agility and joint crepitus associated with therapeutic stretching. *Apply lumbo-pelvic circumduction training to improve disc related joint mobility. *Integrate PreActive therapeutic stretching techniques to reduce lumbo-pelvic muscle tension. *Devise strengthening protocols for the lumbo-pelvic region using graduated isometric protocols. *Discuss mobility during lumbar traction to reduce disc pressure. *Compare static traction versus dynamic traction. *Define contra-indications for decompression therapy of the lumbar spine. *Apply appropriate lumbar decompression therapy to various patient populations. *Demonstrate lumbar mobility training exercises used to enhance decompression effectiveness. *Justify reimbursement through accurate documentation of lumbar disc treatment progression. *Diagnose lumbar disc conditions with clarity. *Select outcome-based assessment tools to monitor patient progress. *Illustrate lumbar range of motion and muscle testing deficiencies concisely. *Summarize patient status for lumbar mobility, crepitus and pain intensity.
