Podcast appearances and mentions of michael shacklock

In this conversation, Mark Kargela interviews Michael Shacklock about his journey and influences in the field of neurodynamics. They discuss the transition from the traditional view of neural tension testing to neurodynamics, the influence of pain science on clinical practice, and the importance of integrating the biological examination with psychosocial factors. Michael also shares his focus on lumbar radiculopathy in his PhD research, specifically looking at unloading the nerve root for pain relief. In this conversation, Michael Shacklock discusses the use of neurodynamic techniques in the treatment of radiculopathy. He explains that movement-related pain should respond quickly to movement, and shares his favorite patient profile for this type of treatment. Shacklock emphasizes the importance of ruling out contralateral tests if they provoke pain, as this indicates reduced cord movement. He also discusses the role of radiology in diagnosing radiculopathy and the challenges of interpreting radiology reports. Shacklock addresses the misconceptions around neurodynamic tests and highlights the need for a comprehensive approach that integrates neurodynamics with musculoskeletal function. He concludes by discussing the application of neurodynamic techniques in acute radiculopathy and the importance of adapting treatment to the individual patient's needs.If you are looking to go deeper on topics, get training, and become a better pain care clinician, then check out our community at https://modernpaincare.com**TIMESTAMPS**00:00:00 Start00:02:04 Interview Begin00:07:15 The movement to neurodynamics versus neural tension00:10:37 How has pain science influenced MIchael's approach00:14:40 There is a time to specifically treat the tissues00:18:51 Michael's PhD focus00:23:32 Crossed straight leg raising as treatment00:26:50 Differneces between mechanical compresison and inflammtory nerve root issues00:32:05 Difficulties with radiolgy00:34:16 Where physios are missing the mark in application00:38:51 Use of neurodynamics in irritable patients00:42:04 Michael's view on other movement approaches00:45:09 Michael's courses and where to find him nextThe doors are open to Modern Pain Pro!

In this episode, I had the pleasure to sit down with Michael Shacklock DipPhysio, MAppSc, FACP, to discuss Neurodynamics and why and how to integrate this skill set into your chiropractic practice. Michael received his graduate qualification at the Auckland School of Physiotherapy, New Zealand, in 1980. He worked in public hospitals in the medical, surgical, pediatrics, orthopedics, geriatrics, intensive care, and burns areas around New Zealand before being employed in private practices, treating spinal and sports injuries in Nelson with Michael Monaghan and Auckland with Margaret Franklin. In 1985, he moved to Adelaide, Australia, where he worked at the Royal Adelaide Hospital and private practices around Adelaide. He completed a Graduate Diploma in Advanced Manipulative Therapy in 1989 and converted this to a Master's degree at the University of South Australia in 1993. He was awarded a Fellow of the Australian College of Physiotherapists (Australian Physiotherapy Association) for his monograph and international best-seller textbook, Clinical Neurodynamics If you are missing a key patient population dealing with nerve-related conditions, Neurodynamics Solutions may be the tool you need in your clinical tool belt.

Avsnitt 160 tillägnas nerverna och Erwin får nöjet att sitta ner och prata med en sann expert. Michael Shacklock, är en senior fysioterapeut från Australien med en lång meritlista, men främst känd för sitt arbete med nerver och det som kallas neurodynamik - var nervens fysiologi möter nervens mekanik. Michael har publicerat flertalet artiklar på ämnet, skrivit ett antal böcker och lär ut konceptet om neurodynamik genom sina kurser världen över. Michael har varit med på den fysioterapeutiska scenen sedan 80-talet och kommer ha sin plats i yrkets historia med sina enorma bidrag. Erwin och Michael pratar om just neurodynamik, historien bakom upptäckandet hur nerver rör sig, hur de blir irriterade och kan bidra med smärta och obehag i rörelseapparaten och hur nervsträckstester (straight leg raise, SLUMP, upper neural tension test) kan och ska användas i kliniken och det kliniska resonemanget.

Michael Shacklock, Physiotherapist, has been a guest on the show before. In episode 91, you would have experienced him for the first time and have probably heard a lot about him since (if you're a frequent listener). I've learned a lot from this man and I hope you will as well. He travels the world teaching other clinicians to effectively manage patient pathology with a neurodynamic aspect. Does motion provoke the person's symptoms?  Does your sciatica patient have pain only with walking? Or may walking is fine, but returning to full sprinting has been troublesome? Or that patient with arm numbness only after pitching for 2 innings? These cases often times have a neurodynamic aspect, but how would you know? Michael is here to guide us the way. Never fear. https://www.neurodynamicsolutions.com https://www.instagram.com/neurodynamics/

Recently I was asked to record the first hour of Theory of the Off-loading Chiropractic continuing education workshop that will be located in Huntington Beach CA on June 8-9th 2019. HERE IS THE POWERPOINT Here is the rough outline of the course that I send to people interested in coming! SHOW NOTES   Off-Loading MSK & Neuro Pathology How to Effectively Use Corrective Exercise, Loading & Strength/ Conditioning In Patient Care - A Conversational Workshop   Normal Structures In Normal Situations Don’t Hurt Normal Structures In Ab-Normal Situations May Hurt Ab-Normal Structures In Normal Situations May Hurt Ab-Normal Structures In Ab-Normal Situations Probably Hurt   Michael Shacklock     My name is Sebastian. Let me start by saying that this workshop was not my idea. Nor was proof reading this document.   Why am I writing this?   Simple.   It was suggested that I teach and get the LACC Class of Fall 2008 together for a “brainstorming” session. I would happen to be the moderator. I would like offer it to our class (deadline Feb 8th) before opening it to others.   As a general rule, invite people who are open-minded to a discussion.   Format For Workshop This will be an open forum for conversation.   Nobody has all of the answers. Everyone has different experiences of “what works” for certain pathologies.   In this workshop, we will be learning from each other.   We’ll be working together to challenge our biases to better serve our patients with a “non-bias” recommendation of care.   My goals is for everyone to leave better than they came, including myself.   This will be a forum for learning. Everyone is welcome to challenge what’s being presented in a professional way.   Side conversation is welcome. It will not be G rated.   What You Will Learn   We tend to not know, what we don’t know, till we’re exposed to it.   Being out of school and away from other great docs tends to hinder our learning. Being married to certain techniques also hinder our critical thinking with complex cases.   I know what I can bring to the table, but the secret ingredient is what the participants (you) bring to the workshop.   Here’s what you can expect to learn from me:     Effective Exercise Therapy Dosage And Selection Considerations Of Symptoms: Muscle Tone Vs. Tissue Damage Effective Verbal & Tactile Cueing For Strength And Conditioning (So You Can Co-Manage Effectively With Strength Coaches/ Trainers) Identification & Reduction Of Patient’s Unrealized Bias To Their Improvement     Effective Exercise Therapy Dosage And Selection I hear this all the time.   “I’ve tried physical therapy for months and my pain decreased a little, but never went away.”   In this situation, I’d suspect the exercise was not cued well, the exercise was incorrect for the person or the dosage was incorrect.   When used correctly, corrective exercise can be more powerful than you’ve ever thought possible!   Hip flexor tension gone after a birddog. Back back gone after deadlifting. Neck pain gone after a horizontal pull. Radiculopathies gone after cueing a simple plank.   Let me show you what I mean in class...   Considerations Of Symptoms: Muscle Tone Vs. Tissue Damage When a patient says their hamstring is “tight,” is it really tight or does it just “feel tight?”   How does this information change our treatment (manual, correctives and ADLs)?   Investigation of their complaints in this way, you’ll be able to reduce their problems without using manual therapy and/or CMT.   Again you’ll have to trust me and experience it for yourself.   Effective Verbal & Tactile Cueing For Strength And Conditioning (So You Can Co-Manage Effectively With Strength Coaches/ Trainers) Ever wonder why some people get hurt deadlifting and others can lift massive amounts without a problem?   Simple, many people lose tension.   Same with shoulder injuries in Crossfit, hip impingement in squats, and sports hernias in rotational sports.   Learning tensioners will assist you in co-management with fitness coaches, who’ll think you’re a damn genius for showing them these simple cues. Prevention under load starts with tension.   Identification & Reduction Of Patient’s Unrealized Bias To Their Improvement Why do some people refuse care?   Why do some people (like your family member and close friends) turn away FREE care?   There can be so many reasons, BUT to sum it up in one sentence… they have an “unsaid concern or bias” against your help.   They could believe they’re “degenerating” or they’re “broken.” They may have been told a harmful belief in the past that’s affecting their future recovery.   Let’s find it.

SHOW NOTES   Sebastian’s Book: I Will Beat Back Pain   In this episode, I’ll reflect on a few “Ah-Ha” moments I’ve had over the last 126 episodes that changed the way I practice, the way I engage with my patients and my overall philosophy of rehab as a whole. I’ve grown a lot over the past few years of interviews so I thought I would share. Thank you for all of the support, texts, DMs and emails everyone. Glad you’re enjoying the show!   A few episodes I’ll be referencing are: #53: “Plantar Fasciitis” AKA Foot Pain with Dr Justin Dean DC #91 Testing MSK vs Neuro before Treatment - Clinical Neurodynamics w/ Michael Shacklock #94 Foot/ Ankle Overuse Injuries Relate to Toe & Peroneal Strength w/ Dr. Tom Michaud DC #117 Complete Concussion Management with Cameron Marshall DC   . . .

SHOW NOTES I attended Michael Shacklock’s Upper and Lower Quarter Neurodynamics course in Spring of 2018 and it was one of those seminars that completely changed the way I looked at my patients on Monday morning. Michael presented for four days on some awesome ways we can test to see if a patient has a neuro component to their symptoms. Surprisingly many conditions that have a partial neuro aspect don’t require radiation or pins/ needles! Here’s a few types of cases I’ve found neuro aspects within (at least a percentage): Subacromial Impingement Cases Ankle injury diagnosed in the training room as a deltoid ligament grade 1 Medial Epicondylitis These types of cases would have fallen through the cracks in my eval and I would have been treated them as pure musculoskeletal conditions, but the truth is when I implemented some corrected to the neuro findings, the person improved past that plateau we sometimes find in patient care. I feel very fortunate to have Michael on to share some wisdom with the rest of the sports medicine listeners. Quotes: Spinal cord movement is a looking glass into lumbar nerve root behavior There’s a 66% reduction in spinal cord movement with disc protrusions Flexion will open the foramen and reduce pressure on the nerve Across joints the nerve is more extensible, unrelated to amount of connective tissue Bio: Michael Shacklock: Michael received his graduate qualification at the Auckland School of Physiotherapy, New Zealand, in 1980.  He worked in public hospitals in the medical, surgical, paediatrics, orthopaedics, geriatrics, intensive care and burns areas around New Zealand before being employed in private practices, treating spinal and sports injuries in Nelson with Michael Monaghan and Auckland with Margaret Franklin.  In 1985 he moved to Adelaide, Australia, working at the Royal Adelaide Hospital and private practices around Adelaide.

His special interests are neurodynamics, measurement of mechanical function of the nervous system, pain and the nervous system and musculoskeletal function.  His most valued interest is how to synthesise science and clinical practice using evidence and reasoning. Michael is an active clinician, has 35 years of experience in treating patients and is recognised as an international leader in the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders with a neural aspect.
