Resumen

Neuroscience is the study of the nervous system; a dynamic structure that controls voluntary movement, posture coordination, and integrating information received by the body. This course examines both the structure and function of the equine nervous system. It seeks to help students understand both microscopic and macroscopic aspects and the complex circuits through which the animal experiences and responds to a stimulus. Join us in our deep dive into one of the most important canine systems.

What our students say...

Maggie P.
Holistic Vet
Montana USA

I’m loving the neurophysiology lectures. In fact the 3D modules used to show the nerves as they come down the limbs and the path of the cranial nn in the skull are Great Visuals for an osteopath. The description of a nerve action potential/conduction is explained better in this course than it was in my college.

"En nuestro tratamiento, hay algo que llamamos 'intención'. Es cuando aplicamos las técnicas con la intención de posibilitar la curación. Nos imaginamos dentro de los tejidos que se están tratando y entonces provocamos un cambio positivo".

- Prof. Stuart McGregor, DO, Osteópata de animales, Reino Unido

“Uno de los principios fundamentales de la medicina osteopática es que el tratamiento debe restaurar la salud de los tejidos locales. Esto implica restablecer el riego sanguíneo, la inervación y el drenaje linfático. Si alguno de estos factores falla, los tejidos no gozarán de buena salud.”

- Prof. Stuart McGregor, DO, Osteópata de animales, Reino Unido

“Las técnicas osteopáticas son seguras y no generan controversia, y de hecho funcionan mejor en animales que en humanos. Esto se debe a la mejor biomecánica de la postura pronógrada de cuatro patas. Los animales no colapsan su estructura de la misma manera que los humanos. Por lo tanto, es mucho más fácil corregir la estructura de un animal que la de un humano.”

- Prof. Stuart McGregor, DO, Osteópata Animal, Reino Unido

“Estoy disfrutando mucho del contenido y la forma en que se presenta la información en las clases por video. Todo está explicado de forma muy lógica, lo que facilita el aprendizaje y me hace desear tener tiempo libre a lo largo del día para sentarme y repasar la lección. Obviamente, hay lecciones en las que necesito repasar varias veces para comprender bien ciertos conceptos, pero la combinación de apuntes, videos, libros de texto y recursos adicionales lo hace posible."

“ An intimate knowledge of anatomy, physiology and musculoskeletal pathology is essential.  Once learned, we don’t forget it because we keep it in mind every time we touch a dog or pick up a horse’s foot.“

- Prof. Stuart McGregor, DO, Animal Osteopath, UK

Overview

Firstly, the program will thoroughly review the Systemic Anatomy and Physiology of all body systems. Following that, you will be introduced to the Functional Anatomy course which will cover the structures of axial and appendicular skeletons, biomechanics of canine locomotion, and the functions of muscles, joints, and spinal segments. This will provide you with a better understanding of their relationship to movements.

In the third course, which is centered on canine pathology and diseases, you will delve into over 100 health conditions, including infectious and systemic diseases, as well as tumors. The course will discuss the causes, symptoms, diagnoses, and treatments available for each of these conditions. To obtain additional information about the program, please download the Program Outline provided below.

Prof. Stuart McGregor , considered by many to be one of the founders of modern animal osteopathy is the Head Instructor for London College of Animal Osteopathy, a leading institute for studies in canine and equine osteopathy.

What our students say...

Angela S.
kennel owner and breeder
MN, USA

I am a physiotherapist and a kennel owner who took the Canine Health Science Essentials course in order to renew my professional certification. I was worried that I would be bored with the material because of my anatomy background, and I teach dog anatomy as well. That was not the case! I loved the course. I thought it was well organized and had wonderful video resources. I thought that the staff from LCAO was very responsive and helpful. I think this course was better than many continuing education courses that I take for my PT license renewal. I was so impressed with LCAO that I am now thinking of doing their diploma certification in canine osteopathy. I would highly recommend LCAO and the CHSE course.
