 Why
do I need special postgraduate training in the field
of Cervical Acceleration/Deceleration
(CAD) injuries?
Management of CAD injuries is a highly
complex discipline that is, for all intents
and purposes,
not adequately addressed
in a physician's training; whether they be medical, osteopathic
or chiropractic physicians. Thousands of articles
have been published on this topic in the past, and many
new articles are published each year. An understanding
of the subject matter requires familiarity with this comprehensive
literature.
Treatment options, diagnostic criteria, and even the model for the etiology
of CAD injuries change constantly and proper diagnosis and treatment of CAD injuries
will result in a far better outcome for the patient. For this reason, all
doctors who agree to treat CAD patients should become thoroughly familiar with
the subject, and subsequently stay current as new findings are brought to light.

Why should I choose the Spine Research Institute of
San Diego over other CAD training that
is available to the profession?
The Spine Research Institute of San Diego was founded
by Arthur C. Croft, Ph.D., D.C., M.Sc., M.P.H., F.A.C.O.,
who has been actively engaged in whiplash research for the
past 18 years. He has authored Whiplash and Mild Traumatic Brain Injuries: A Guide for Patients and Practitioners (2009), co-authored the textbook
on whiplash Whiplash Injuries: the Cervical Acceleration Syndrome, and temporomandibular disorders (Whiplash
and Temporomandibular Disorders: an Interdisciplinary Approach
to Case Management) along with several other books, textbook
chapters, and over 350 professional
papers.
The Spine Research Institute of San Diego
is actively involved in CAD research, conducting
basic
research and constantly
reviewing
the CAD literature. No other educational organization in this
field has been as active, and none other offers such a comprehensive
educational program.

What Modules are really necessary
to get a good grasp of the subject CAD injuries?
Each Module presents
an entirely different component of the subject, which
is vast and often confusing. A
thorough understanding of all aspects of CAD injuries is crucial
to properly managing CAD patients, from diagnosis and
treatment, to representing the patient's injuries in a court of
law. You really should be proficient in each and every area,
accordingly, we highly recommend the entire series.
