You will be able to optimize the use of body and technical resources to reach a highly competitive level with the best and most innovative tools on the market”

Decision-making when dealing with sports injuries is conditioned not only by the type and severity of the injury, but also by the clinical functional situation of the athlete and their short, medium and long term requirements, without losing sight of their expectations and goals. For the correct therapeutic management of an injury, this program takes a deep look into the different therapeutic modalities, their indications and expected results, their possible complications and, of course, how to master their application.

This postgraduate diploma brings together up to date knowledge on the specific biomechanics present in spine pathology in sport. In addition to the causes, the program will present injury mechanisms, diagnoses and treatments, both conventional and state of the art, for the most common pathologies. Based on this, there will also be a deep study of the specific way each sport affects the different vertebral segments, and how modifications in the characteristics of training can prevent, avoid or minimize pain in the spine.

In the course of six months, physicians will delve deeper into the field of application of Sports Medicine, understanding the competitive advantages it provides regarding Sports Injuries in the Spine, which ultimately will result in physicians positioning themselves at the forefront of the medical field. Furthermore, the program enjoys the best 100% online study methodology, which eliminates the need to attend classes in person and to follow a predetermined schedule.
