Part III

DESCRIPTION

Part III - Cervical Spine
  • This course covers the biomechanical and clinical research outcomes of Cox® Technic protocols for cervical spine and upper thoracic conditions: the intradiscal pressure decreases, the proper forces to be applied and the correct application of protocols.
  • Academic discussions of cervical spine anatomy and conditions and protocols are interspersed with hands-on application of the protocols in small groups with instructors at each training Cox8® Table. 
  • The evidence-based development of the protocols is presented including single clinical case reports, multi-case retrospective clinical case collections, laboratory discoveries of biomechanical effects and forces. 
  • This is part of the certification course in the evidence-based protocols of the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management. The technique doesn’t stand alone in the relief of spine pain but rather is a central component. The patient, home care, Cox® Technic, exercise, examination, doctor skill are all part of the system whose goal is pain relief.
  • This Part III Cervical Spine Certification Course in Cox® Technic protocols will build a foundation of physicians who approach cervical spine pain and then treat it in similar fashion just as the lumbar spine certification has. 
 
CERTIFICATION EXAM (optional)
 
To be listed as certified in cervical spine, you must take the practical and written exams as well as attend all 14 hours of the weekend. Protocol Guide to review
 
RECERTIFICATION

ATTENDEE COMMENTS

"Thank you! I loved the course. My brain is still swollen from all the knowledge I received. I was particularly impressed by the professionalism, knowledge and kindness of everyone involved. A great experience! I'll look forward to more seminars in the future." – Theo Davidson DC (South Dakota)   

“This program includes excellent use of evidence to not justify but to determine procedures to achieve the most effective, safest clinical outcomes possible.”– Chelsea Drda DC 
 
 
CE CREDITS

One (1) STATE CE is included with your registration. Additional states' CE are available at $50 each. 

A Certificate of Attendance Verification will be sent to all attendees from NUHS Post Grad after the course. 

UPDATE ON CE FILING AND APPROVAL for California.  All Part III Cervical Courses will not have CE for California.  We are sorry for this decision, but they have changed their pricing and we deemed it necessary to decline filing for California.  Please see below:

 
California Board is now charging $116/instruction hour
This 14 hour seminar would cost $1624 to file for CE

The best advice is to plan early, register early, let us know you want CE early! 

If you are seeking CE and are unsure, PLEASE CONTACT US.
