From Neck to Nerve: Practical Approaches to Cervical Spine and Arm Pain
This one-day course will cover the differential diagnosis, assessment and management of patients presenting with mid to lower cervical spine pain and radiating arm pain. This will predominantly be a practical course. The key manual assessment tests for referred and radicular pain and radiculopathy will be covered. This will include appropriate neurological screening tests and neurodynamic tests. Manual assessment of the neck will be covered to assess the potential sources of pain and management techniques to reduce arm pain. Current best practice evidence will be presented incorporating clinical reasoning via case studies.
By the end of the course participants will be able to:
Have a greater understanding of the differential diagnosis of radiating arm pain
Be able to perform appropriate evidence based musculoskeletal assessments of the cervical spine and neural tissues of the upper limb to assist the diagnosis.
Plan and demonstrate the appropriate management/treatment techniques for these conditions
