Back Pain 301│Mechanical Discogenic Pain
Access: 12 months | This course covers basic pathoanatomy of the anterior column and the theory, evidence assessment and management of mechanical discogenic pain.
CPD Certificate provided.
This course covers the basic patho-anatomy of the anterior column and mechanical discogenic pain and teaches you how to identify those patients who are likely to do well with a mechanical approach to treatment. You will be shown how to assess and treat this patient group and how to guide them to functional recovery.
