This course addresses common conditions encountered in chiropractic practice that require specific positioning. Using incorrect positioning can lead to increased pain, longer recovery times, and higher risk for patients. Participants will learn the rationale for addressing these conditions and practice both with and without patients to enhance retention of the techniques.

• Understand the best approaches and the rationale behind them

• Provide a step-by-step approach for each condition

• Identify red flags during setup

• Multiple patient positions to enhance specificity

Dr. Van Merkle will teach you how to identify serious diseases, determine metabolic imbalances and nutrient recommendations by using objective testing. He will cover advanced analysis and nutritional protocols from comprehensive blood tests and extensive profiles correlating with hair analysis, urinalysis and other objective testing. The course reviews recognizing, assessing and determining appropriate referral or collaborative treatment of a patient’s conditions and treatment.

Cranial adjusting has a long history in the profession and has a beneficial affect on the nervous system, meningeal tension and cerebrospinal fluid dynamics.

In this course, we will examine the analysis and adjusting techniques for frequently occurring cranial, TMJ, and upper cervical subluxation patterns. The main objective of the class is to aid Chiropractors in improving the treatment of patients who suffer from headaches, head pain, TMJ issues, sinus problems, and overall body distortion.

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.

This extremity adjusting workshop is like none other. It was designed to demonstrate to and teach the DC how to manually adjust hand and foot articulations more effectively and efficiently with little to no discomfort to the patient.

Dr. Terry Yochum and Dr. Alicia Yochum will cover a systematic approach to evaluating plain films to better help you in your daily practice. They will also review a wide range of pathology such as sports injuries, arthritis, tumors and infection. The classification and terminology used for disc herniations along with the biomechanics of the disc will be covered. Join us for this exciting new seminar!

Over the last decade there has been a remarkable increase in the number of scientific conferences and societies that focus almost exclusively on tumor metabolism and growth factors associated with metabolic signaling. Of particular relevance is the intersection of metabolism with epigenetic control and metabolic reprogramming of aberrant signaling pathways that promote the Warburg effect. This renewed interest in the cause and consequences of the Warburg effect has invigorated cancer research and promises to redirect our efforts down a path that will translate into more effective cancer treatment and prevention strategies.

Millions of people suffer from symptoms such as neck and back pain, cervicogenic headaches, and migraines that can be effectively addressed by a Chiropractor. Evaluation techniques and a detailed diagnostic & treatment system can identify the pathology and treatment that has demonstrated streamlined decision making and better results.

Learn the examination and treatment of the cervical and upper thoracic spine using a full system, which is clinically proven to elicit better functional outcomes.

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.

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!
