Royal College of Chiropractors CPD Event – Cervical Radiculopathy: What works and what doesn’t

EVENT OUTLINE

Chiropractors frequently manage patients with acute and subacute pain, especially those with neuro-musculoskeletal complaints. Practitioners need to be aware of the evidence for what they do and consider guidelines set by national and international bodies. The aim of the session is to highlight RCC, NICE and Danish National Clinical Guidelines relevant to cervical radiculopathy, and explore how they influence practice and how patients are managed by other healthcare professionals

• Understand the most important procedure for establishing the presence of cervical radiculopathy
• Understand what most distinguishes cervical radiculopathy from a patient with referred pain
• Understand which cervical nerve root is most commonly involved in cervical radiculopathy
• Understand which is the most appropriate investigation in terms of imaging cervical radiculopathy
• Understand what to address initially with respect to patient management and which is the recommended treatment intervention in terms of patient management
