Neurological Pain Disorders

The first 5 years of life are the most vital when considering the development of a child’s nervous system. In part one of this course, you will be provided with all tools necessary to complete a detailed history and examination of your young patients and an explanation of how these assessments relate to development later in life.

After completing the three-part course, you will have gained significant knowledge to make you more confident when dealing with complicated paediatric cases. 

This course is essential for anyone wanting to be an expert in the field of paediatrics.

Part 2 focuses on common pathologies affecting children. You will learn about the  different types of headaches (from migraines to headaches caused by pathology/trauma) that affect young children, how they present and how you can help.   Part 2 also covers neurocutaneous syndromes like neurofibromatosis, tuberous sclerosis and Sturge-Weber syndrome, Myasthenia gravis and spinal cord injury.

After completing the three-part course, you will have gained significant knowledge to make you more confident when dealing with complicated paediatric cases. 

This course is essential for anyone wanting to be an expert in the field of paediatrics.

In part 3, you will learn about more pathologies such as peripheral nerve injury, Tourette syndrome, neurological infection, the presentation and meaning of abnormal muscle strength reflexes, and how to assess and understand the implications of abnormal head growth. Part 3 also explores in detail cerebral palsy, vertigo, “floppy infant” syndrome, seizures and brain tumours.  

After completing the three-part course, you will have gained significant knowledge to make you more confident when dealing with complicated paediatric cases.

This course is essential for anyone wanting to be an expert in the field of paediatrics.

What is the best treatment methodology for peripheral neuropathic pain or pain resulting from injury to nerve roots or peripheral nerve trunks? 

How best should the symptoms of clinical manifestations of peripheral neuropathic pain be described? This course examines some conservative options for treatment and raises questions about their efficacy. Not all patients, it seems, will respond equally to neurodynamic mobilization techniques and different treatment parameters. The course will discuss the way in which interventions can be individualized to address the nuances of each patient’s presentation of peripheral neuropathic pain. 

Part 1 & 2 must be taken together.

These correspondence courses will provide you with practical information on the concept of neurodynamics;

• General layout of the nervous system in relation to the musculoskeletal system;

• Tension, sliding and compression as a mechanical function of the nervous system;

• How nerves move and nervous system responses to movement;

• Nervous system physiology; and

• Neurodynamics sequencing.

The information provided will assist you with the clinical reasoning for treatment of a patient with neural tissue pain disorders.

This correspondence course covers essential information regarding biomechanics of the neural system of the spine, shoulder, hip and knee regions.

In particular, this manual provides a detailed discussion of neural tissue biomechanics and implication for treatment of spinal and peripheral joint movement.
