The Cervical Spine in Health & Disease: Diagnostic Radiographic Techniques for Understanding Sagittal Balance and Curvature Abnormalities in Spine Deformities

This course provides an integrated education for the Doctor of Chiropractic in the Science and Art of chiropractic with an emphasis on radiographic measurement techniques of the sagittal cervical plane curvature and balance abnormalities examination. Detailed evidence will be presented from the peer-reviewed literature documenting the current measurement methods having reliability, validity, and clinical applicability of sagittal cervical contours as they relate to spine displacements.

Learning Objectives:

Hours 1-3 Chiropractic diagnostic testing procedures for radiographic analysis of the cervical spine 

  • Background and historical overview of diagnostic testing procedures with a critical review of the debate in the literature from scientific sources and guidelines.
  • Diagnostic testing procedures for radiographic analysis for sagittal cervical abnormality and deformities.
  • Understanding diagnostic testing measures for the cSVA from C2-C7, measures of cervical lordotic curvature (ARA C2-C7, Cobb C2-C7), the spine cranial angle, T1-slope and T1-Slop minus the Cervical lordosis as evidence based diagnostic testing outcomes.
  • Cervical Spine Diagnostic testing procedures for radiographic analysis as they correlate to chronic pain, chronic disability, health related quality of life, adjacent segment degenerative disease, and neurological outcomes.

Hours 4-5 Evidence based measurements for sagittal spine deformity

  • Diagnostic testing procedures for adult spine deformity categories with current evidence-based outcomes: 4 categories of cervical deformities and 4 categories of thoraco-lumbar deformities.
  • Understanding patient specific diagnostic testing procedures and evidence-based outcomes measurements that influence an individual’s functional cervical lordosis: thoracic inlet morphology and the posterior tangent sternal incidence angle (PTSIA).
  • Diagnostic testing procedures for degenerative spine disorders including cervical spondylotic radiculopathy.
  • Diagnostic testing procedures for valid and reliable evidence-based outcomes measurements for radiographic analysis demonstrate improving cervical lordosis and sagittal balance improve evidenced based patient outcomes.
