Outcome Assessment Tools: Acute vs. Chronic vs. Maintenance/Wellness
"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.

A Functional Medicine Approach to Chiropractic Treatment
Functional Medicine is a systems biology–based approach that focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of disease. Each symptom or differential diagnosis may be one of many contributing to an individual’s illness. A diagnosis can be the result of more than one cause. A cause such as inflammation may lead to a number of different diagnoses. The precise manifestation of each cause depends on the individual’s genes, environment, and lifestyle, and only treatments that address the right cause will have lasting benefit beyond symptom suppression.
The purpose of this course is to expose you to Functional Medicine and give you the ability to see how resistant conditions like arthritis, chronic fatigue, diabetes, heart problems, insomnia, depression and many mysterious conditions and pains can be solved.
Chiropractors that practice Functional Medicine help many people return to wellness after literally years of health problems and poor and unsolvable health conditions by other types of doctors. In Functional Medicine, a doctor will combine advanced laboratory testing with evidenced based, sound treatment principles and have success solving these hard cases. We will look at actual cases, see what the underlying cause of the condition is, and then see the results of treatment. A truly exciting and fun way to practice!
