This course focuses on topics specifically relevant to chiropractors. In particular, doctors and students will learn several different approaches to treating several musculoskeletal problems commonly seen in practice, with an accent on the neurology involved in performing myofascial therapy. In addition, the functional importance of the autonomic nervous system in the physiological, behavioral, and psychological balance in humans will be discussed. In this light, Polyvagal Theory will be elucidated and included in treatment protocols. Additional attention will be paid to the spinal and intracranial fascial dura. This course will be partly lecture, but mostly demonstration of practical techniques.
This course will storm old dogmatic beliefs to replace them with concrete evidenced-based fact. It is 120 % practical and you will observe immediately a higher success rate in your adjustment and warranty a cavitation noise over 95% of the time. You will be an active participant in this course from the first 10 minutes to the last second. Even more fun, you will discover that learning any one of the 30 techniques presented starts by simply performing the technique on your own. Not with a patient, but by just looking at a video or your instructor! This new pedagogic approach (baptized KataChiro) has trained thousands of chiropractors and has been proven to develop self-control and confidence that elevates the practice of chiropractic to a real art. You will be able to correct many of the positioning errors that are encountered in current practice and learn to adapt your morphology to the morphology of the patient and to your equipment. You will discover the importance of tensioning a patient distally from the treated area. You will approach a true chiropractic nosology implying “a specific technique for a specific diagnostic”. We will give you the tools to document your “hands-on” technique for duplication by a peer in under 3 seconds. We will storm your old beliefs with fresh self-observable facts.

There is not a lot of information for women postpartum as to how to heal their bodies after birth or how to return to fitness.

In the next decade, we must move to integrate the traditionally siloed fields of musculoskeletal medicine and exercise. There is entirely too much fertile ground between the squat rack and the treatment table. In order to stay competitive, the post pandemic marketplace will require providers to expand their current skill sets. Providers must be able understand, modify, and synthesize training programming in order to stay competitive in a hyper-saturated and competitive marketplace. If providers are going to claim movement expertise, they must be ready to lead and teach general physical preparedness and movement across age and task cohorts. This experiential learning-based seminar will help you to synthesize and integrate the incredible training and movement choices in the provider’s tool bag into a simplified, more integrated whole. We are now tasked with limiting movement compensation within our classes so that we can limit overuse conditions, restore native physiologic ability, and unlock personal movement potential.
In most cases, when we deliver adjustments, we feel the joint move and hear the sound, which signals to us that the adjustment was successful. In most cases, patients feel better afterwards. But some don’t feel better and never do. Why is that? Most of these patients are either acutely or chronically inflamed to a degree that prevents manipulation success. This class will address the correctable underlying healthy risk factors that create an excessive pro-inflammatory state within joints, tendons, and spinal discs.

This two-hour lecture is divided into two, one-hour sections. The first hour will describe the elegance of human gait along with the highly efficient method used for propulsion. It will detail how the mechanical linkages involve the entire body, and joint mobility is essential in the entire process. It will also describe how foot dysfunction (functional hallux limitus) can alter the mechanics is such a way as to stress the entire system from the bottom to the top (lumbar and cervical spine). In the second hour, specifics will be provided in the conservative management of hallux limitus/rigidus including the use of specifically modified foot orthotics as well as lower extremity manipulations. The neuromechanical effects of muscular inhibition will be described as creating an environment which serves to perpetuate symptoms. Joint manipulations of the ankle, cuboid and 1st ray will be detailed. Upon completion, attendees should understand how gait mechanics perpetuate chronic foot and postural symptoms and have the tools to manage this long term.

Can we learn to control our impulses before they control us? Even more importantly: can we learn to let them flow when it really matters? Countless years of life are lost and countless chances at happiness are missed because of our unhealthy relationship with impulses, which we tend to control too little (e.g., addiction and explosive anger) or too much (e.g., repression and anxiety). Understanding the underlying mechanisms of impulse control can give you the potential to live a happier, healthier, and more fulfilled life. Neuroscientist Dr. Heather Berlin and her colleagues have been illuminating these mechanisms for years, including the surprising positive effects of losing control at the right time and in the right place. Some domains of human experience, such as meditation, improvisation, and therapy under certain psychoactive drugs, offer controlled circumstances under which losing control provides overwhelming and repeatable benefits to human well-being. By understanding these dynamics that are already at play in you, you can master the fine art of losing control and gaining it back, learn to adjust your impulse control settings at will, and make your brain work for you.

Too many Chiropractic offices have unpredictable patient flow due to a lack of a strategic marketing strategy. Most Chiropractors rely on one-off marketing tactics or campaigns to jump-start their practice during slow times. In this presentation, I will teach you how to leverage modern technology and content marketing strategies to attract, retain, and reactivate more patients for a thriving chiropractic practice.
We will breakdown the three phases of the patient lifecycle: New Patient Marketing, The Patient Experience, and Inactive Patient Reactivation. You will leave the presentation with three marketing strategies for each of those phases of the patient lifecycle.
We will wrap up the presentation by working through a content marketing editorial calendar to gain clarity and precision with your strategy.

LSS is a leading cause of pain, disability, and loss of independence in people over the age of 65. Up to 47% of people over the age of 65 will suffer from LSS. With the aging population and because people are living longer, we are experiencing a soaring rise in the number of people suffering from LSS. Over 20 million Americans will suffer from LSS in the next 15 years. Chiropractors are well positioned by their training and skills to make a significant impact in improving walking ability and quality of life in people with LSS. They should and can be the experts in non-operative treatment of LSS.

Many chiropractors are frustrated when they see their patients get injured while at their local gym. These same chiropractors are often struggling to keep expenses down while providing their patients a great service. With just a few tweaks to their business model, chiropractors can establish an evidence-based treatment system that also rewards them with more profit along with the ability to keep their patients healthy after their injury and throughout the patient’s life. We call this the Clinic/Gym Hybrid model of chiropractor. And in this talk, we’ll walk you through the first few steps to get started on this exciting, fun, and effective path!
