Upper Cervical Instability in the Spine Practice

Atlantoaxial instability and craniocervical instability are poorly understood, and much of what is available in the literature relates to surgical management.

Learn to evaluate UCI in the physical exam and imaging, and the spectrum of reasonable approaches we can apply in nonsurgical management.

Managing Hypermobility Conditions for Generalists

Heritable connective tissue disorders are relatively common, and a generalist clinician of any kind can generally expect that they are treating several people with one- whether you know it or not.

Run Stable: Building Resilient Endurance Athletes

Many common running injuries start with the same fundamental problems: physical preparedness and training volume. This one-hour interactive program teaches the anatomy and interdependence of different regions in running, as a way of talking about where and why we most commonly see pain arise. Then we get moving to learn ways to strengthen, treat and prepare for whatever the race season brings.

Appropriate for recreational runners and scholastic athletes.

Self-Treatment for Back Pain at Work

Appropriate for desk, service or labor workplaces. May be adapted to be worker consultation with accompanying clinical management.
