CTCP MODULE 4 - CONTENT OVERVIEW
Module 4 will help you to implement your growing skills in the field of functional neurology. Speciality topics are included to guide you in the assessment and treatment of balance disorders, as well as greater depth in the field of human posture and alignment. You will also gain a greater understanding of the clinical reasoning skills that are essential to your success as a powerful clinician.
In Module 4 you will gain greater insight into how science validates your art. The vestibular system interacts with other sensory systems - visual and somatosensory - to perceive the relative motion between oneself and objects in space and to maintain equilibrium. This allows us to orientate ourselves, and deficits in this system can contribute to vertigo, dizziness, anxiety and a host of other symptoms. The oculomotor system provides a spectacular window into the human nervous system. It is the simplest motor control system, requiring the coordination of only 12 muscles that move the eyeballs through space. And because eye movements are coordinated with locomotion, posture and movements of the axial joint systems they are extremely valuable, both in assessing a patient’s neurological function and in clinical application. You will learn how to assess your patients’ eye movements with greater clarity and we will introduce you to additional testing that will open a new world of clinical possibility.
Learn how to assess and manage patients with dizziness, vertigo and other balance disorders. But it doesn’t stop there, because your new found insights into the vestibular system will help you to understand posture and scoliosis with greater clarity than ever before. As you surely realise, the world of clinical diagnosis and practice is a world of probabilities and you must learn to ‘stack’ them in your favour. Science and insight will help you to do this. As chiropractors we pride ourselves on being ‘spine experts’. Now is the time to truly make this a reality. Once you have learned to appreciate the complexity of neurology you will appreciate how human behaviour is intertwined with circuitry.
