Board-approved · PACE Provider #34015544 · CE Broker auto-reporting · Instant certificateNeck and shoulder pain rarely arrives one region at a time. The cervical spine and the shoulder girdle share muscles, nerves, and movement patterns — and patients feel that overlap as pain that refuses to stay in its lane. Orthopedics 212 gives licensed chiropractors a rigorous, evidence-based framework for assessing and treating cervical spine and shoulder disorders together: a thorough review of current literature, clear assessment and treatment criteria, and the clinical outcome data that tells you what actually works. Taught by Dennis O'Hara, DC, DACBSP, this 2-hour on-demand course delivers strategies you can apply at the very next visit.
