CTCP MODULE 2 - CONTENT OVERVIEW
The currency of respect in health care is diagnostic expertise. Your authority as a clinician is built upon an ability to diagnose across a core scope of practice, and to do it at a more refined level that anyone else. This module will hone your diagnostic skills and equip with the knowledge and tools to skillfully navigate the complex world of spinal diagnosis. Furthermore, you’ll take away key skills for communicating your expertise at this most crucial level of clinical thinking. This is where you demonstrate your dominance as a spine expert.
Your clinical development will begin with the humble facet joint. How do they hurt? How often do they hurt? And is it actually possible to diagnose a facet joint lesion? From there we will look deeply at the sacroiliac joint. For many years the conventional medical wisdom has held that the sacroiliac joints are immobile in adulthood. While science has comprehensively disproved this notion, it is not widely appreciated outside of chiropractic circles. You’ll be guided through the research on the subtle diagnostic distinctions that will set you apart as an expert in this area. One one hand you must appreciate the sacroiliac joints as a potent source of back pain, but on the other be wary of over-ambitious notions of gross sacroiliac motion. Indeed, many of the chiropractic theories regarding positional misalignments of the pelvis, and our ability to thrust them back into shape, have come about largely as a failure to understand what’s really going on in there. Let us uncover this world for you. As you will soon see, most sacroiliac disorders represent a failure of load transfer between the legs and trunk.
The lumbar intervertebral disc simultaneously poses perhaps one of the greatest challenges and opportunities for chiropractors. Because if you can demonstrate your in-depth knowledge of all of the issues involved, highlight your diagnostic skill and offer a compelling road map for treatment then your value as a problem solver will skyrocket. But you do need a strategy and this Module provides one for you.
Scoliosis is probably the most common spinal deformity encountered in clinical practice. Unfortunately, it has also proved to be one of the most complex. As an expert in spinal function you are expected to be able to differentially diagnose the numerous types and to know when referral is crucial. What do we really know about this condition? In this Module we are going to look closely at both the underlying causes of scoliosis and a rational approach to treatment - taking into account the genetic, endocrine and neurological factors.
