Title: Contemporary Chronic Pain Management-An Integrated Neuromatrix Approach to Rehabilitation
Description: Each professional decade promises new treatment golden arrows for clinicians to embrace and implement when treating patients with persistent pain. Often these tools fall short as means for revolutionary results and are prematurely abandoned in response to misdirected utilization. This course will integrate orthopaedic manipultive therapy, sensorimotor control strategies, biopsychosocial skillsets, pain science education and medical intervention to explore solutions for redirecting patients’ chronic pain experiences.
