Cervical, Thoracic, & Lumbar Spinal Manipulation

Course Description
This one day seminar combines an evidencebased, didactic lecture instruction, with
intensive hands-on lab training in cervical,
thoracic and lumbosacral high-velocity lowamplitude (HVLA) spinal thrust manipulation
(STM), and how to apply those techniques in
a safe and competent manner. These
introductory techniques serve to facilitate
neurophysiological and mechanical effects for patients experiencing
musculoskeletal dysfunction of the spine. The student will learn useful
techniques to implement immediately on patients the next day. The
seminar covers a significant amount of peer-reviewed literature reviews,
video demonstration, and peer feedback allowing basic technique
mastery. Emphasis will be placed on patient and clinician safety. This
course will also give therapists references to engage in meaningful
conversation with fellow clinicians, physicians, clients, and prospective
patients regarding the efficacy and safety of these techniques.
