Description
Most rehab professionals believe treating Neuropathy is a lost cause. Conventional wisdom says that once the damage is done, your patients’ only option is medication and learning to live with it.
But it doesn’t have to be that way. Complete symptom resolution is often unrealistic, however even small changes can move your patients from despair and resignation to hope and independence.
Watch us in this advanced training offering solutions to a difficult diagnosis and discover the latest and most impactful evidence-based interventions including:
- Pain management: manual therapy techniques, modalities that are supported by evidence (TENs, lasers, diathermy, etc.), dietary changes and coverage of medication and treatment options outside of rehab.
- How to intervene directly at the central nervous system to facilitate neuroplasticity in motor control and sensory organization.
- Restore peripheral nerve mobility with neuro-fascial release, IASTM, cupping, and soft tissue techniques
- Maximize function when deficits persist – fall risk reduction, home modifications, compensation strategies, home programs and more!
You will walk away with the knowledge and skills to confidently apply functional screening techniques, identify deficits, and design a personalized plan of care.
As a clinician who truly understands neuropathy’s causes, subtypes, and prognosis, you’ll stand out as an expert who can help some of the most challenging and complex patients regain the quality of life they dream of.
