Dr. Ralph Kruse is honored to
be instructing a seminar written for Dr. James Cox, developer of Cox® Technic Flexion-Distraction & Decompression Spinal
Manipulation at the Chiropractors' Association of Saskatchewan, Canada on
September 21-22, 2013 . This lecture is written to share information in a
fashion to excite the Chiropractic attendees about being the back pain
specialist in their community.
Dr. Kruse will present
details about the treatment of back and radicular pain caused by spinal stenosis and disc herniation of the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spines.
Treatment of Failed Back Surgical Syndrome (FBSS) - patients having undergone one
or more surgical decompressions and/or fusions who have continued or a
recurrence of pain, will also be presented. FBSS is one of the most complex
conditions seen in chiropractic practice and one which chiropractors will be
seeing with greater frequency in the future. An increased competency in
adjusting treatment is necessary for these challenging patients.
Attendees will learn the
mechanism, diagnosis and treatment by Cox® Technic Flexion Distraction and
Decompression Spinal Manipulation for non-radicular back pain caused by
spondylolisthesis, transitional segment, facet syndrome, scoliosis,
degenerative disc disease, Klippel Feil syndrome, block vertebrae, T4 syndrome, retrolisthesis,
degenerative spondylolisthesis, neuropathic pain, and ligament hypertrophy.
These cases require a different spinal manipulation approach than spinal
stenosis and herniated disc. He will detail the outcomes of the federally
funded biomechanical and clinical comparison studies (flexion-distraction vs
medical care) and highlight the outcomes for radiculopathy for which
flexion-distraction shone. Federally funded and privately funded basic
science and clinical outcome results of Cox® Flexion Distraction and
Decompression Adjusting for back and radicular pain will be given. Looking to
the future place of chiropractic in healthcare, he will also share challenges
and opportunities chiropractic faces based on the evidence-based research
available today.
Having been involved in one of the earliest federally funded
studies on the
biomechanical effects of Cox Flexion Distraction to the lumbar spine,
Dr. Kruse will share these findings. Dr. Kruse was also involved in the most recent study performed at Loyola Stritch School of Medicine which
documented the biomechanical effect of Cox Decompression Manipulation when performed to the cervical
spine. The published initial findings and the ongoing research will be
presented. The latest findings in the published studies that impact a chiropractor's
practice and the patient's clinical outcome will also be presented. Hands-on
demonstration of technique will prepare you for an exciting Monday morning as
the back pain specialist in your community utilizing the most researched and
outcome driven spinal adjusting in chiropractic today.
