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.
