Chiropractic Skills and Technique

CHIROPRACTIC SKILLS AND TECHNIQUE 511
Chiropractic Examination Skills I: Palpation

This lecture and laboratory course addresses the biomechanics and chiropractic assessment procedures of the spinal and pelvic joints. The student is introduced to the concepts of biomechanics as they relate to the kinematics and kinetics of the spine and pelvis and the strucure and functioning of the tissues of the musculosketal system. This information is coupled with the diagnostic tools of static and motion palpation as they pertain to the assessment of spinal joint functioning.
