Cervical spine

Duration: 45 hours

• Anatomy and biomechanics of the cervical spine 
• The occipito-atlanto-axial (OAA) complex 
• Vegetative integration:
  • The autonomic nervous system: the afferent system 
  • The osteopathic importance of the afferent system 
• Anatomy of the brachial- and lumbosacral plexuses 

What will I learn?

You will learn the structural and functional anatomy and biomechanics of the cervical spine in general, and the OAA-complex specifically.

You will learn a better understanding of the autonomic integration, with the afferent system in particular.

Also, you will be taught a practical application on how to examine and normalize the cervical spine and the OAA-complex.

On the propaedeutic day you will learn the anatomy of the brachial- and lumbosacral plexuses.
