Myofascial Disruption Technique is a hands on soft tissue method of treatment that is based on science and the understanding of how soft tissue breaks down, how to identify what is broken down, and exactly how to fix it. There are 7 specific soft tissue conditions that can be clearly identified and successfully treated with very straightforward principals.

This course will clearly demonstrate the principles that will tell you exactly what and how to treat the condition for a very rapid response. After reviewing the science, the very specific conditions are discussed and treatment is demonstrated on live patients.

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.

Treatment Protocols
What to treat and how to treat using spinal decompression
Multi-modal treatment approach
Comparisons to alternative treatments

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!

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.
