Validating Chiropractic:
Chiropractic and Exercise

Course Overview


This course will:

Increase your insight, knowledge and appreciation of the mechanisms and benefits of chiropractic care. It will help you understand and be able to document and clearly explain the current scientific evidence substantiating the effectiveness of chiropractic to your patients, attorneys, in narrative reports, depositions and court testimony.

You will gain new insight and greater expertise at interpreting patient presentations and clinical findings. Become more skilled at designing management plans and understanding patient prognosis.

In our busy daily practices we, as chiropractors, don't have the time to read all the new, exciting, and current data on chiropractic. Our knowledge and understanding of the mechanisms and benefits of chiropractic is growing very rapidly and the old models we have relied on in the past are being replaced by more accurate concepts based on today's neurological, biomechanical, and clinical research.

This seminar will clearly explain all of the major new directions in chiropractic research and provide practical application to daily practice.

What you will learn:
  • How to quantify patient baseline status, patient progress and need for additional care.
  • How to document a complicated case and the need for prolonged care that may exceed the recommended duration of care for an uncomplicated case.
  • How to inform, and generate referrals from, medical doctors.
  • The current information about the nature of joint dysfunction, subluxation and disturbances in neurologic function.
  • How joint dysfunction disturbs sensory input, muscle patterns, autonomic output.
  • The effects of chiropractic care on:
