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.

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!
