Course Details

OVERVIEW:

A modern understanding of the evidence on pain neuroscience in treatment of low back pain is crucial. Keen appreciation of how to discuss the condition with patients reduces nocebo and improves outcomes. Industry leader, Greg Lehman, brings inimitable wit and subject matter expertise on this topic to this 2 hour survey course.


OBJECTIVES:

By completion of this course, the registrant should be able to:

  1. Be able to define nocebo
  2. Develop language to avoid nocebo
  3. Produce strategies to reduce threat to feared movements
  4. Carefully expose fearful patients to movements which reduce sensitization
  5. Begin to develop an understanding of loading movement to reduce fear

Instructor

Greg Lehman, BKin, MSc, DC, MScPT

I have been in the rehabilitation field for more than 20 years. Following my undergraduate degree in Kinesiology (4 full time University years) I was awarded the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology Gold Medal for highest academic performance in Kinesiology. This degree allowed me to obtain certification as a Strength and Conditioning Specialist and Certified Fitness Appraiser and I have worked as a Strength and Conditioning coach for Sir Wilfrid University's Men's Basketball team and for Queen's University Women's Varsity Hockey Team.

My success in university resulted in being awarded a graduate scholarship (NSERC) toWaterloo University to be 1 of only 2 Masters students studying with Dr Stu McGill, a world leader in Spine Biomechanics, exercise prescription and athletic performance.

As a faculty member at the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College I developed a research program that produced more than 20 publications on exercise biomechanics, golf fitness and the science of manual therapy. I taught more than 25 graduate students in Spine Biomechanics and Research Instrumentation and supervised more than 50 students and 20 undergraduate research theses. I was subsequently awarded a Researcher of the Year award by the Ontario Chiropractic Association.

FAQ

  • CE CREDITS: How do I obtain chiropractic CE credits?

    ProChiroOnlineCE offers PACE accreditation for chiropractors in most US states and Canadian provinces. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR FINDING OUT IF YOUR STATE ACCEPTS PACE ACCREDITATION! A list of states and provinces that accept PACE accreditation is available at this link: https://pacex.fclb.org/pages/RegulatoryBoards.php.

    Please note that many states and provinces DO NOT require accreditation through a 3rd party, such as PACE. If you don't require 3rd party accreditation, please do not request it.

    Upon completion of your course, you must notify us directly at [email protected] to request a PACE accreditation certificate. If we do not receive an email within 14 DAYS OF COMPLETION OF YOUR COURSE, no PACE accreditation will be available.

    Other healthcare professionals are welcome to take coursework on our site, but no accredited CE is provided.

  • SUPPORT: How do I get help if I need it?

    You can get assistance by contacting us via email at [email protected]. We attempt to respond to all queries within 24 hours.

  • ACCESSIBILITY: What devices and operating systems can I use to access my course?

    In short, any device or platform that allows you to interact with us as you are now. Because all content in your course is online except the downloadable course notes, the only restriction is your availability to data stream or wi-fi access.

  • EXPIRATION DATE: Is there a limit on the amount of time I have access to the course?

    No, your course is yours to view as long as our website exists. If you wish to receive PACE accreditation for CE hours, you must request that within 14 days of completion of your course. Contact us at [email protected].

  • STATE/PROVINCE REPORTING: What are the reporting requirements for CE for my state?

    Please contact your state/national board for your reporting requirements. On request, we will provide you with a digital certificate of completion for your course after you have completed all proficiency tests with an 80% passing grade. If your state or province requires third party accreditation, we will provide PACE accreditation if you contact us within 14 days of completion of your course. Contact us at [email protected]. A list of states and provinces that accept PACE accreditation is viewable at https://pacex.fclb.org/pages/RegulatoryBoards.php.

  • REFUND POLICY: What if I want a refund for my course?

    All sales are final and non-refundable. However, if for some unforeseen technical problems, you are having trouble viewing your course, contact support at [email protected]. We will consider the situation on an individual basis and make it right. That decision may result in credit for other courses on ProChiroOnlineCE or repayment. All decisions by ProChiroOnlineCE regarding refunds are final.

  • ELIGIBILITY: Who is this course for?

    This course is for licensed chiropractic physicians (DCs) and offers CEUs to doctors in most states and provinces. While other licensed healthcare professionals (PT, LAc, MD, DO, ND, ATC, LMT, personal trainers) will find this material helpful in care of their patients and clients, those professionals should contact their state organizations to determine eligibility of this material for CEUs.
