The End of the Ice Age with Mike Stella, ATC (CEU Course)

A MODERN APPROACH TO ACUTE CARE OF TRAUMATIC INJURIES

WHY A COURSE ON ACUTE CARE?Traditionally speaking, acute management of injuries and post surgical traumahas been relegated to short-term swelling and pain control, and woefullyneglects the sub-acute and chronic phases of healing. Additionally, theseclassic tactics often have deleterious effects on later stages of healing andperhaps need to be re-considered.This limitation is compounded by the apparent lack of psychosocial factors thatinfluence pain, healing, and both short and long term prognosis.The goal for this course, is to understand fundamental physiological &psychosocial factors and provide evidence informed application of strategiesand techniques aimed at optimizing the short term, with the long term in mind.
