The clinical neuroscience program (CNS) is a comprehensive, evidence-based series of modules that come together to teach the breadth, depth, and application of clinical neuroscience.
What is Breadth? Throughout the CNS program, scholars will be taught on subject material that is common to all healthcare professionals and needed for the diagnosis and recognition of neurological dysfunction. This includes neuroanatomy, physiology, and the pathology of the nervous system and related systems.
What is Depth? Building upon the breadth of neuroscience, the depth of the CNS program allows practitioners clarity into the clinical thought process and neurophysiology as it relates to the scholar’s specific profession. Our programs are taught at a depth that allows clinicians to be more specific in the assessment, diagnosis, integration, and recognition of the various systems that influence disorders of humankind.
What is Application?: Building upon the breadth and depth of the field of clinical neuroscience, the CNS program dives deep into the physical and functional neurorehabilitation strategies that are specific to the practitioner when applying a functional neurology paradigm of care.
Breadth, depth and application is what allows for clinical mastery.
The clinician of the future will develop individualized neurophysiological approaches of care for their patients.
The prevalence of chronic pain and high-impact chronic pain in the United States, as analyzed by the CDC in 2016 is estimated to affect 20.4% (50.0 million) of U.S. adults for chronic pain and 8.0% of U.S. adults (19.6 million) for high-impact chronic pain. It has been estimated that 1 in 6 American suffer from chronic headaches. There appears to be a significant need for better treatment and management strategies. In this module you will learn the foundational neurological structures and pathways responsible for producing pain and those brain areas/structures that are critical in reducing the pain experience. You will learn specific examination techniques that will allow you to assess the integrity of the brain’s pain modulatory centers. With that knowledge you will be shown specific treatment techniques to address the dysfunctional brain regions promoting one’s chronic pain
