Spinal Manipulation Therapies - New York City, NY

Empire Medical Training's Spinal Manipulation Therapy Training is a comprehensive, evidence-based program designed to address the growing demand for nonpharmacologic treatments for low back pain. With up to 84 percent of adults experiencing low back pain at some point in their lives, there is a critical need for clinicians to be equipped with effective adjunctive procedures beyond conventional medical treatments.

This hands-on course is specifically tailored for physician practices seeking an osteopathic approach to pain management. It focuses on teaching the technical and practical skills required to perform high-velocity low-amplitude (HVLA) spinal manipulation, a technique commonly used by Osteopathic Physicians but less commonly taught to medical doctors and nurse practitioners.

The course emphasizes the treatment of lower back pain, covering manipulation techniques for key articulations including T10-L1 (thoracolumbar junction), L2-L5, and the sacroiliac (SI) joint. Whether addressing acute or chronic lower back pain, participants will gain the knowledge and confidence to effectively perform spinal manipulation procedures.

Developed as a 1-day program, the course combines didactic sessions covering each indication with hands-on training immediately thereafter. Participants will learn protocols associated with the procedure, as well as essential "standard of care" considerations to ensure safe and effective practice.

Empire Medical Training's Spinal Manipulation Therapy Training complements existing pain management courses, providing practitioners with additional tools to diagnose and treat patients suffering from a variety of lower back pain conditions.
