Neck Pain & Cervical SMT: Important Studies / 1 Credit
Learning Objectives:
- Compare the treatment effects of cervical spinal manipulative therapy to indirect cervical nerve root injections in patients suffering from imaging-confirmed cervical disc herniation
- Evaluate the literature on the effectiveness and safety of cervical spinal manipulation in the treatment of degenerative cervical radiculopathy
- Explore the effects of cervical manipulation on cervical lordosis
- Examine the effects of thoracic manipulation and non-thrust mobilization on pain sensitivity and intensity in patients with chronic mechanical neck pain
- Critique the correlation of cervical radiographic findings of degenerative joint disease with neck pain and related symptomatology
