This program will enhance the doctor’s knowledge of the innate intelligence and science as it relates to treating the nervous system. The doctor will know more fully the relationship between the nervous system and various functions throughout the body including: proprioception, reflexes, the aberrant nervous system, the neurological system and mechanisms that work with function in order to better treat his patients.

We live in a fast pace, stress filled society leading to cascade of potentially negative neurological effects on the body. The vertebral subluxation significantly adds to this allostatic load.

Thoroughly understanding these mechanisms allows the Chiropractor to have a greater appreciation of the various health issues that their patients are presenting with as well as the role that correcting the vertebral subluxation plays in helping them.

Dr. Humberg will be teaching very specific and accurate methods of analyzing vertebral subluxations in this hands-on program. You’ll learn the why and what we look in various forms of analysis, including neurological concepts, static palpation, motion palpation, various muscle testing, reflex testing, leg checks and more.

"Chiropractic: It Works."

That was enough for a long time, but Chiropractic practice today demands more. Regardless of your practice style or philosophy, outcome assessments are the universal language of health care.

Outcome assessments are the gold standard of justification for treatment; whether that be at an elevated interval due to acute pain or dysfunction or at a reduced interval with minimal pain but persistent dysfunction.

Outcome assessments bridge that gap and justify care within the very diverse chiropractic community, reviewers, payors, insurance companies, judges and juries. Being well versed and able to utilize them is essential for patient care in the 21st century.

Dr. Darrach will review the different types of assessment tools beside Oswestry and NDI: what they mean and how to incorporate them into your everyday practice. Acute vs Chronic vs Maintenance/Wellness. Confusing these can put chiropractors at risk during post payment audits. Learn how to transition between each.

Dr. Kendel will review the biochemical process behind thyroid issues and how chiropractors can treat these issues with success. He will review the influence of a leaky gut and the gut microbiome and their importance and role they play in the thyroid’s function.

2. Hyper- and Hypo- Thyroidism and how we can test for them
3. What Chiropractors can do to best treat patients with these problems
4. How to return to a properly functioning thyroid

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.

This seminar will enable the practitioner to determine the misalignment associated with specific neurological dysfunctions.

Dr. Humberg will present the analysis portion of this seminar with a very specific and accurate method of locating not only the site of the neurological irritation (compression) but also the misalignment associated with that neurological dysfunction. We will look at muscular and visceral components, diagnosis, signs, symptoms plus you will learn manual and electrical ways of stimulating the vagus nerve.

You’ll learn more about treating such issues as IBS, Colitis, GI issues and more!

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. Aucker will begin by going through the treatment protocols for rehabilitation. This is the perfect mix of education, evidence-based techniques, and hands-on training. Chiropractic adjustments will focus on the full spine, as well as extremity techniques. The myofascial portion will consist of in-office and home protocols. In-office techniques will be focused on instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization, both immobile and with movement, (similar to Graston technique) and an array of trigger point therapy, pin-and-stretch, and other myofascial release techniques. The home protocols will be centered around the use of a foam roller, roller stick, lacrosse ball, and mobility peanut. Finally, rehabilitation will start with assessment protocols created by Vladimir Janda and Craig Liebenson, educational background, and corrective exercises/protocols. No matter what your background training may be, you will definitely be able to apply something to your everyday practice to help patients and boost revenue
