This seminar teaches chiropractors the rationale, procedure, and interpretation of evidence-based in-office testing that will monitor ANS changes following your spinal care, comparing pre- and post-adjustment findings.

The testing covered in this seminar includes:

a. Skin temperature analysis (symmetry and pattern models). Instruments include simple single probe infrared thermometers as well as the elaborate TyTron thermographic system

b. Resting heart rate and heart rate variability. Technology includes App-based methods as well as a three-lead ECG unit.

c. Sit-to-stand heart rate test using App and radial artery palpation.

If you’re looking for objective, evidence-based assessments to monitor autonomic function in your practice, this seminar is for you!

Dr. Hayes will show you how to avoid medical malpractice and errors issues in your office. He will give you the 18 Office Procedures Protection Strategies and help you to develop Proper Office Procedures and review what is covered in malpractice insurance and how new laws pertain to you and your practice.

This course will focus primarily on functional pathologies and treatment as it relates to nerve entrapment

Peripheral nerve entrapments can occur in multiple locations along the extraspinal extent of the nerve – between the intervertebral foramen and the most distal nerve endings in the extremities. The most frequent symptom of locomotor system adaptation/dysfunction is pain. The structure that most frequently expresses pain is the muscle with its trigger points and painful attachments. Treatment must address the etiology causing the nerve compression.

Dr. Carter will teach what to look for when you take the history and perform the physical exam. He will show you how to correctly identify and treat nerve entrapments successfully. You will learn the compression of different nerve types and symptoms associated with each that you can treat successfully, then move on to how to best treat them and help your patients.

Functional Medicine is a systems biology–based approach that focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of disease. Each symptom or differential diagnosis may be one of many contributing to an individual’s illness. A diagnosis can be the result of more than one cause. A cause such as inflammation may lead to a number of different diagnoses. The precise manifestation of each cause depends on the individual’s genes, environment, and lifestyle, and only treatments that address the right cause will have lasting benefit beyond symptom suppression.

The purpose of this course is to expose you to Functional Medicine and give you the ability to see how resistant conditions like arthritis, chronic fatigue, diabetes, heart problems, insomnia, depression and many mysterious conditions and pains can be solved.

Chiropractors that practice Functional Medicine help many people return to wellness after literally years of health problems and poor and unsolvable health conditions by other types of doctors. In Functional Medicine, a doctor will combine advanced laboratory testing with evidenced based, sound treatment principles and have success solving these hard cases. We will look at actual cases, see what the underlying cause of the condition is, and then see the results of treatment. A truly exciting and fun way to practice!

This upper extremity adjusting workshop is like none other. It was designed to demonstrate to and teach the DC how to manually adjust the upper extremities more effectively and efficiently with little to no discomfort to the patient. The methodology uses a simple, step-by-step, systematic process.

You will learn basic skills and understanding of how to properly asses, diagnose and treat conditions involving the wrist and hand, and shoulder. Any DC that learns and implements this manual extremity adjusting methodology will certainly notice a significant improvement in their management of extremity conditions.

Arthritis
This classes teaches Differential Diagnosis for Arthritis by simulating the presentation of 12 different forms of arthritis. The provider is specifically taught the 4 major classifications of arthritis during this interaction. This class teaches how to specifically differential diagnose between the various potential diagnoses of arthritis. This clarifies for the chiropractic provider those cases that can be conservatively treated and those cases that need further referral or co-management.

The science behind Arthritis treatment is discussed with outcomes presented and evaluations of numerous approaches to the treatment of arthritis.

The Examination for arthritis is straight forward. Examples of examination of the fingers, the knee, and other areas is specifically discussed. All forms necessary are included.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome
This portion of the class explores the tools the chiropractor has to help treat his patients with this common condition as well as other digestive conditions. These are evidenced based treatments for IBS Syndrome and other conditions, that can be utilized by chiropractors. A Look at other digestive disorders and what can be done about them including Functional Dyspepsia, Crohn’s Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, Leaky Gut, Barret’s Esophagus, fiber, pre biotics and pro biotics, as well as Hiatal Hernia diagnosis and treatment. All have practical applications a chiropractor can use for patients for these common conditions

Dr. Kendel will kick off the seminar discussing the biochemical process behind inflammation and how it becomes chronic inflammation. Leaky gut and the gut microbiome’s importance and role it plays in overall health as well as specific conditions will be discussed.

You will learn the common causes of chronic inflammation and what we as chiropractors can do to treat it.

In this seminar, you will learn:
1. How chronic inflammation affects the gut and how it leads to food sensitivities.
2. What food sensitivities are exactly and how we can test for them and treat them.
