Course ID: 891 | 2 CE Hours | Online Self-Study | $40
Peripheral nerve entrapments of the pelvis and lower extremities represent a diagnostically challenging category of musculoskeletal conditions frequently encountered in chiropractic practice. This course provides an in-depth exploration of the most clinically relevant entrapment syndromes, including piriformis syndrome, meralgia paresthetica, common peroneal nerve compression, and tarsal tunnel syndrome.
Participants will strengthen their understanding of the anatomy and physiology underlying these conditions, with focused attention on accurate identification and evidence-based conservative management. The course also addresses critical differential diagnosis skills — particularly distinguishing peripheral entrapment syndromes from lumbar radiculopathy — which is essential for avoiding misdiagnosis and guiding appropriate care decisions.
Effective patient education strategies for prevention and home management are integrated throughout, giving practitioners a practical, immediately applicable framework for improving clinical outcomes. Whether you are new to treating lower extremity nerve conditions or looking to deepen existing expertise, Orthopedics 203 delivers targeted, peer-grounded instruction from one of chiropractic's leading orthopedic educators.
