Skeletal Development Ages 0-4
Skeletal Development Ages 0-4
This course provides an in-depth exploration of the embryological development and structural formation of the skull and spine from birth to age four, with an emphasis on clinical implications relevant to chiropractic care. The course begins with an overview of embryology, including distinctions between the viscerocranium and neurocranium and the development timeline of the central nervous system (CNS). Participants will then examine the components of the skull, focusing on bones, sutures, fontanelles, and conditions such as craniosynostosis.
Subsequent sections cover the cervical, thoracic, lumbar spine, sacrum, and coccyx.
