The Impact of ACE's on Health Outcomes: Trauma Informed Care in Chiropractic
Trauma informed care (TIC) is a recommended approach to healthcare delivery across professions, especially when a trauma history is suspected. This program aims to introduce TIC concepts as they may apply to chiropractic care for adults with a history of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). Prior trauma can lessen trust, alter perceptions of physical touch, and hands-on examinations and chiropractic treatments may trigger stress responses.
ACEs can facilitate chronic stress. Chronic stress leads to an increase in stress hormones (adrenocorticoids), held in a dynamic equilibrium by allostasis . Chronic stress generates allostatic load, straining body systems and causing physiological change.
All of the effects of chiropractic care on this population are well documented throughout the literature and through studies. Join us to learn how Chiropractic can help these patients and how you as a Chiropractor can have a major impact on their ability to function.

Empowering the Chiropractic Treatment: Neural Control, Mechanical Stability & Consciousness
This program will enhance the doctor’s awareness of consciousness 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.
It is through your nervous system that your true potential is fueled.
The nervous system influences whatever it can control. This involves glandular function (hormones & immunity), digestion, elimination, movement, as well as thought and emotion. These functions are vital for our health.

Nerve Entrapments & How To Treat Them Successfully
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.
