Carpal Tunnel Syndrome affects quality of life in 1-5% of people.

The first step in treatment of carpal tunnel should be non-surgical treatment, which includes education, often a steroid injection, and therapy.

But what should that therapy look like?

In this live webinar, we will discuss carpal tunnel education, assessment and treatment with Rachel Egan, OTR/L, MS, CHT, COMT-UE. Rachel is a Certified Hand Therapist, a Certified Orthopedic Manual Therapist, and currently manages operations for 13 NovaCare clinics across Minnesota.

Participants in this course will have access to our full clinical decision support page for carpal tunnel treatment that will be updated on an ongoing basis.

Childhood feeding problems are one of the most common complaints raised during primary care visits.

Which is not surprising, given that the prevalence of pediatric feeding disorder is around 1 in 37 children under age 5. Feeding disorders overall are common in the pediatric population, with a prevalence of 25% of children in the general population and of up to 80% of children with developmental disabilities.

Unfortunately, many feeding problems are too often normalized, and parents are told to “wait and see” when in reality, feeding problems may be associated with poor sleep quality, toileting problems, increased likelihood of medical conditions or illness—ultimately leading to greater levels of caregiver stress and healthcare costs.

The article we are looking at today is a broad scoping review of research on pediatric feeding disorder, which really highlights the broad multidisciplinary interest in this disorder. After we review the article, we will welcome to the podcast Suzie Driscoll, MOT, OTR/L, an occupational therapist who started her own pediatric feeding therapy business, Tiny and Mighty. Suzie and I will discuss this research and its implications of OT professionals.
