Presentation Topics

The ABC’s of Functional Neurology Essentials

In this presentation, we cover three important topics, or what we call ‘the ABCs’, within the Clinical Neuroscience realm: Autonomics, Balance and Coordination, and Cognition.This presentation serves as a great introduction to the application of clinical neuroscience for improved patient outcomes.

Pain Reset - Neuroscience as a Chronic Pain Solution

This presentation has been developed with the objective of introducing chiropractors to the latest in pain neuroscience for the purpose of improving clinical outcomes regardless of one’s practice technique. By learning to understand how our nervous system processes and blocks pain we gain knowledge of what to do when our techniques fail.

Comprehensive Migraine Management

Migraine is quickly becoming the most common cause of disability in the world, lagging only behind low back pain. Learn the pathophysiology of why migraine is different from other types of head pain and why neuroscience-trained clinicians are positioned to be the best primary care doctor for this condition. We will discuss musculoskeletal, neurological, nutritional, and hormonal considerations that can reduce or eliminate this debilitating condition.

Brain-Based Adjusting

This hands introduction workshop is designed to teach you how your adjustments affect the brain and how knowing this information changes the way you adjust your patients. Various concepts of clinical neuroscience will be discussed relating to how subluxations negatively influence the brain. This is a learning by doing workshop that focuses on the examination procedures to determine where the brain is not optimal and adjusting strategies to enhance human function.

How to become the top 1% in Chiropractic

Looking to inspire your association delegates? This presentation is thought-provoking with a perfect mix of inspiration and challenging questions, meant to pull the best out of the clinicians in the room.

Chiropractic and Neurology: The Concussion Solution

This hands-on workshop introduces chiropractic physicians to the tools, examination procedures, and clinical applications they need to help those suffering from concussion. Effectively treating concussion patients is not as simple as just adjusting them. Learn the basics of what to know when evaluating
a concussion patient and the basics of how this information influences your adjustments and other treatment approaches.

Assessment of Primitive/Retained Reflexes

The retention of primitive reflexes in a pediatric and adult population can contribute to a myriad of conditions. This hands-on workshop introduces the science of primitive reflexes, as well as strategies for assessing and remediating primitive reflexes.

Introduction to Clinical Neurochemistry and Nutrition

A one-day class to introduce students in chiropractic college to the foundational concepts of Clinical Neurochemistry and Nutrition. Learners will be presented with the four Neurochemistry metabolic priorities: autoimmunity, energy production, HPA tone/glucose handling, and Gastrointestinal/Liver. Learners will be exposed to the clinical problem-solving methodology necessary to successfully apply Clinical Neurochemistry and Nutrition to a diverse patient population.

This webinar will explore the concept of hemisphericity and its implications in clinical practice. The focus will be on how the adjustment affects brain activity and whether the side of the neck you adjust makes a difference in how the adjustment affects the brain.

This webinar will review how vestibular imbalance influences posture and how this information changes how you apply your adjustments.

This webinar will answer the question of what a coupled cervical adjustment is and whether there is a benefit to using this technique over others.

a concussion patient and the basics of how this information influences your adjustments and other treatment approaches.

With over 30 official “unified” definitions, no published standard approach to diagnosis or rehabilitation, concussions are confusing everyone. Meanwhile, best estimates suggest that in any particular year, 1 in 10 people will sustain a concussion. Due to a lack of public education causing underreporting, a precise definition, standard of care, and inadequate data collection, the actual number of concussions that occur each year may never be discovered.

 

This 1-day, hands-on, high-level and fast-paced workshop will teach the delegate the 7 major profiles or phenotypes of concussion, how to assess each, understand the pathology associated with each, then craft customized training exercises to rehabilitate or enhance neurological function in patients from pediatrics to geriatrics, and professional athletes.

A common symptom that patients who have sustained a concussion describe is the sensation of, “I don’t feel like myself,” or “I don’t know how to explain it, but I just don’t feel right.” This very vague symptom presents challenges for both patients and doctors alike. How do you treat someone that just “doesn’t feel like themself?”

In this virtual presentation, Dr. Antonucci will discuss the bases of self-perception, how concussions can affect that perception, how a clinician might measure a patient’s ability to perceive themself accurately, and most importantly… how to use the power of plasticity to restore their self-identity.

Concussions are complex injuries requiring extensive training and specialty consultation. They are occurring in the general population at staggering incidence rates – more than diabetes and more cancer diagnoses. Chiropractors have a unique position in the healthcare system, with established patient relationships and more frequent interactions, allowing them to be a pivotal steward of brain health and safety. However, research has demonstrated that knowledge among ALL healthcare providers is deficient in identifying and managing mTBI. While many individuals don’t know if they were concussed or the magnitude that their injury may have on their life, this 4-hour, fast-paced course will aid its attendees in making solid recommendations by covering the breadth of concussion, from acute/sideline management, sub-acute therapeutics, and the 7 subtypes of concussion. Our goal is to enable chiropractors to properly manage or refer patients with concussions, to reduce long-term suffering and promote brain health.
