Pain in the Neck: Management of Cervical spine injuries in athletes with Tom Myers and Dr. Vishal Khatri
The neck is a remarkable feat of biomechanical engineering, combining a wide range of motion with structural strength. The neck often bears the compensatory load between accommodation of the eyes, ears, jaw, and vestibular system at the head end, while the pelvis, and feet adjust to gravity and your movement at the other end.
The neck is truly – embryologically and functionally – the ‘middle’ of your body, and neck discomfort is often a result of this dynamic between upper and lower. The strain patterns that lead to pain patterns can work their way out in either direction – i.e., from the jaw or ocular reflexes downward, or from the lumbosacral junction upward, providing myriad possible patterns of cervical restriction, all intimately related to the rest of the body. The Anatomy Trains myofascial meridians map provides a lens for understanding how these patterns play out.
In this new webinar, we focus on the soft-tissue approaches that can ease these patterns when they are still sub-clinical, as well as astute and innovative surgical approaches and rehabilitation principles for when more severe injury requires it.
Key Takeaways
- The oculomotor reflex: Palpate and experience your suboccipital muscles relating eye movement to the spine
- Gain Anatomy Trains insight into the nested ‘cylinders’ in the neck with stunning dissection video
- Understand the arrangement of the muscular ‘guy-wires’ stabilising the neck, and their role in perception and biopsychology
- Learn to assess postural patterns influencing neck position in terms of tilts, shifts, bends and rotations
- Identify common cervical injuries in athletes
- Understand surgical indications for cervical spine injuries in athletes
- Understand surgical procedures and approaches to the cervical spine
- Understand post-surgical rehabilitation principles for the cervical spine
