The Impact of ACE's on Health Outcomes: Trauma Informed Care in Chiropractic
Trauma informed care (TIC) is a recommended approach to healthcare delivery across professions, especially when a trauma history is suspected. This program aims to introduce TIC concepts as they may apply to chiropractic care for adults with a history of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). Prior trauma can lessen trust, alter perceptions of physical touch, and hands-on examinations and chiropractic treatments may trigger stress responses.
ACEs can facilitate chronic stress. Chronic stress leads to an increase in stress hormones (adrenocorticoids), held in a dynamic equilibrium by allostasis . Chronic stress generates allostatic load, straining body systems and causing physiological change.
All of the effects of chiropractic care on this population are well documented throughout the literature and through studies. Join us to learn how Chiropractic can help these patients and how you as a Chiropractor can have a major impact on their ability to function.

Nerve Entrapments & How To Treat Them Successfully
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.

Discover the Potential of Nitric Oxide
Nitric oxide or NO is considered one of the most important molecules produced in humans. This simple molecule controls oxygen and nutrient delivery to every cell in the body, it regulates cellular communication and even has anti-microbial properties that protect our body from invading pathogens. In fact, this molecule is so important it was named “Molecule of the Year” by Science Magazine in 1992 and in 1998 a Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to the three US Scientists responsible for its discovery.

Revelations in Cancer & Chiropractic Treatment
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.
