Courses Focusing on Specific Conditions
Carrick Institute offers many programs that focus on specific conditions, allowing our scholars to specialize and focus their education on patients commonly seen in their practice.
1-Day Courses
Carrick Institute Neurology Primers are designed to deliver high-quality education in one day, allowing scholars to quickly begin applying this knowledge with their patients.
Neurology Primer: BPPV
Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo is the most common cause of vertigo in adults, resulting in over 1.5 million visits to the ED in the US each year. With proper assessment and maneuvers, the vast majority of cases can be effectively treated, alleviating patients of debilitating symptoms and decreasing their risk of falls at the same time. Grow your clinical practice and expand your skills to confidently treat this dizzy population!
Neurology Primer: Clinical Approaches to TMD
This full day will be based upon on a focused head and neck examination, with a special overview on the TMJ, and its management procedures. The speaker will take your through the steps in this evidence-based physical examination process, which includes inspection, palpation, and auscultation of head and neck structures.
Speciality Programs
Our specialty programs are for those who have completed the Clinical Neuroscience Program.
Concussion/mTBI Rehabilitation Certification Program
In our most advanced module series, Prof. Carrick trains healthcare professionals how to understand, examine and treat sports-related concussions/mTBI. This program is one of immersive integrated clinical education designed to promote mastery of the subject area and long-term learning.
Neurodevelopmental Disorders
This 6-module program builds on top of current best research and understanding of developmental disorders as well as the latest advancements in their treatment. With an increase in the prevalence of developmental disorders, the need for properly trained clinicians that understand the neurophysiology, know how to make the correct diagnosis, understand the co-management with various levels of healthcare and support, and have mastery of a Clinical Neuroscience approach to treating these conditions is higher than ever.
Mastering Migraine
Migraine is the 6th most debilitating condition in the world. It affects over 38 million Americans, with 4 million suffering from chronic migraine. Understand what modalities and treatments are effective at managing migraine from a biomechanical, nutritional, hormonal and a Clinical Neuroscience approach.
This series is designed for those seeking mastery of the treatment of migraine-related disorders. All material will be presented from the most current research available.
Clinical Neurochemistry and Nutrition Program
This 6-module series will explore the chemistry of the nervous system, how the chemical processes of the body affect brain and nervous system function, and the ways in which the brain influences the internal chemical environments.
Attendees will learn clinical nutrition treatment strategies utilizing supplements (vitamins, minerals, nutrients, botanicals) and diet. There will be a strong focus on clinical application of the material so learners can serve their patient population right away. Clinical cases are provided to illustrate core principles and facilitate mastery of the subject areas.
Movement Disorders
Professor Carrick has attended patients with movement disorders from around the globe for 37 years and is regarded as a clinical expert in the diagnosis and treatment of these conditions. Our 4-module program is a current exposure of movement disorders based upon a patient-centered paradigm of treatment. We will be expanding your clinical acumen and abilities to make a difference in the lives of patients with a variety of movement disorders from dystonia, Parkinson’s disease, neurodegeneration, stroke, gait abnormalities, Tourette’s syndrome and much more. Prof Carrick’s treatment applications are legend throughout the world and he attracts referrals from leading institutions and specialists for his novel and innovative treatments that are often times successful in these difficult cases.
Vestibular Rehabilitation Certification Program
Vestibular processing is one of the most highly integrated receptor systems in the human body, which allows it to be utilized in the course of rehabilitation of many seemingly unrelated patient scenarios. This 6-module series will culminate to an understanding of when, why, and how to implement vestibular rehabilitation, through evaluation procedures, biometric technologies, and hands-on applications.
