Description:

It’s time to delve into complex lumbar cases and learn how to utilize MDT for the lower extremities. When is an   extremity problem not an extremity problem?  Attend the upcoming course to develop spinal / extremity differentiation skills, uncovering the remarkably quick changes to stubborn extremity symptoms of a spinal source.  Discuss those challenging cases and hone your clinical reasoning capabilities to achieve optimal outcomes.

FEEDBACK FROM FELLOW CANADIAN CLINICIANS ON RECENT COURSES:

• Over the past few days, I have been re-assessing patients with a seemingly extremity issue with MDT who I previously classified using a pathoanatomical approach. It is amazing to see how often there is a spinal source and how in many cases, rapid improvement occurs. It truly amazes the patient...and me.
• I feel that the MDT courses have advanced my practice knowledge by multiple years and instilled more confidence when treating more complicated patients.
• MDT is a great way to assess consistently and objectively. Screening the spine at all times (for extremities) really helps out in terms of classifying which will lead to proper management in a time efficient manner.
• I have been using the MDT approach in my clinical practice for 10 years. The outcomes have been excellent and my patients are very happy with the results.
