Online 1-day seminar
Neck pain is one of the most frequent presenting symptoms encountered by chiropractors. Acute neck pain is often relatively easy to manage and usually resolves quickly. Chronic non-specific or traumatic neck pain, however, can be clinically challenging, as it is frequently associated with neurological dysfunction that exacerbates the problem and hinders recovery.
Whether you treat athletes involved in contact sports or mostly the ‘bread and butter patients’, this seminar will teach you how to assess and comprehensively rehabilitate patients with traumatic or chronic non-specific neck pain.
