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.

This seminar is specifically to educate the chiropractor on Implicit Bias as required by the Michigan Board.

Dr Jackson will teach the complete Thompson-Derefield (leg length) examination and analysis protocol. He will present basic through advanced Thompson Technique adjusting procedures that have been added or modified based on the Thompson Technique Foundation board. He will also instruct on how to designate those conditions which may present contraindications to chiropractic care or specific modifications to adjusting in specific areas based on presentation of findings such as spondylolisthesis, pregnancy
or pathology.

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.

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.

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.

Each type of analysis will be looked at within the framework of the normal compensatory spinal model which will allow the busy Chiropractor to quickly and accurately analyze each of their patients prior to adjusting them

This class is a workshop in which you’ll be up practicing these methods throughout the day.

This class will get you thinking about why we do what we do and how to apply it in a practical setting.

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.

You are invited to attend a seminar designed to teach, inspire and help you perfect your understanding and use of the Thompson Technique. The seminar will be presented by the Founder of the Thompson Technique Foundation, Dr Robert D. Jackson, who was himself a 17 year student of the technique’s founder, Dr. J. Clay Thompson.

Dr Jackson has been teaching and inspiring Chiropractors all over the world for the last four decades.

Dr Jackson will teach the complete Thompson-Derefield (leg length) examination and analysis protocol. He will present basic through advanced Thompson Technique adjusting procedures that have been added or modified based on the Thompson Technique Foundation board. He will also instruct on how to designate those conditions which may present contraindications to chiropractic care or specific modifications to adjusting in specific areas based on presentation of findings such as spondylolisthesis, pregnancy
or pathology.
This classroom and lab presentation will include hands on instruction of the Thompson Technique materials including leg check analysis, the 5 basic categories and variations that occur in each analysis, rotated sacrum, the lumbar spine, the dorsal spine, the cervical spine and extremities. It will also include modifications for pediatric, geriatric and pregnancy.

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
