Course Details

Altered peripheral and central sensory neurotransmission can contribute to deep pain states. Knowledge about the peripheral and central modulation of deep pain is still limited compared with cutaneous pain. Better understanding of the sensory and modulatory mechanisms of deep tissue pain will likely improve the development of therapeutic strategies

Luana Nyirö

Luana Nyirö is a chiropractor from the University of Zurich, Switzerland. She is currently pursuing her PhD studies, trying to estimate the role of spinal afferents as a possible mediator of physiological pain-relieving effects induced by manual therapies, especially spinal manipulation. Besides that, she is employed as a Junior Consultant at the Polyclinic for Chiropractic Medicine at the Balgrist University Hospital in Zurich.
