About this Event
Cayuga Medical Center’s continuing education series has grown out of our well-respected Residency Program to meet the needs of clinicians looking for high-quality training offered here in the Northeastern US. Our teaching faculty includes physical therapists and athletic trainers with advanced training and subspecialty certification. Several of our instructors also teach in the physical therapy program at Ithaca College.
This course examines the neurobiology of pain and its management. A continuum of normal/physiologic pain to abnormal/pathologic pain will be presented including peripheral and central mechanisms. Treatment approaches based on pathophysiologic mechanisms will be discussed. Incorporating this information into the clinical decision-making process for conditions such as chronic low back pain, radiculopathies, nerve entrapments, osteoarthritis, whiplash associated disorder, fibromyalgia, myofascial pain syndromes, and Complex Regional Pain Syndrome will be explored through lecture and case study format. Lab sessions will focus on manual assessments and intervention techniques, as well as developing educational strategies for discussing pain with patients.
