This course provides an integrated education for the Doctor of Chiropractic in the Science and Art of chiropractic analysis and management of patients injured in motor vehicle collisions. Biomechanical and neuro-physiological aspects of whiplash type acceleration / deceleration injuries will be reviewed and discussed. Emphasis will be placed on cognitive and cervical spine sensori-motor control assessments, deficits, and rehabilitation procedures for injured populations. An update-to-date review of research material will be presented supporting the utilization and efficacy of a variety of Chiropractic examination/documentation procedures, and corrective rehabilitation treatment techniques.
Objectives:
- Review injuries and cause of abnormal cervical spine curvature after a motor vehicle collision
- Discuss Chiropractic BioPhysics Techniques in a patient’s rehabilitation after motor vehicle collision
- Review research about the efficacy of a variety of procedure to treat patients after motor vehicle collision.
