Learn how to treat chronic pain such as fibromyalgia, herniated disc or sciatica and become a highly sought after and renowned practitioner"

Many chronic ailments afflict today's patients. Many of them are related to neurophysiological pathologies, so an approach from this field of knowledge is necessary to treat issues such as epilepsy, OSA or Parkinson's disease, among many others that hinder people's lives.

In addition, intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring has become so important in recent decades that it has even become a legal requirement for many procedures. This is because postoperative diagnostics, as well as the surgical procedures themselves, are greatly benefited by using this technique.

Given the importance of these two fields, it is an interesting avenue for professional growth for all physicians who aspire to increase the level of their careers. Thanks to this TECH postgraduate diploma, the graduate will have a more complete understanding of therapeutic neurophysiology, its applications in common pathologies in patients and how to use it to monitor surgeries of varying complexity.

This will allow the student not only to access a higher level of knowledge, but even a higher level in his or her professional field. The student even has the convenience of being able to study this course completely online, without the need to attend physical classes or adhere to specific schedules, being able to combine it with daily activities and work.
