Faculty

Needs Statement

There are a variety of trials that are conducted annually that study the effects of spinal manipulation. Unfortunately, physicians don’t always know or understand the risks and benefits of spinal manipulation.  In this presentation we will review these studies and discuss a variety of patient cases on the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and management of neuro-ophthalmic complications of spinal manipulation. The expected outcomes of this webcast are that the target audience will be more aware of risks and benefits of spine manipulation and consider this when treating those patients that have had spinal manipulation.
