OPENING GENERAL SESSIONwith Dr. Dennis Marchiori, Chancellor, Palmer College of Chiropractic

Increasing our Reach for a Healthier Tomorrow – 2 CE DC/CTThe chiropractic profession is underutilized. We have a greater capacity to improve the health of others than is generally recognized by the public. Limited cultural authority remains a significant barrier to the chiropractic profession playing a broader role in the healthcare system. In part, improved cultural authority and expanded access depends on the profession’s ability to communicate a clear, creditable, and authentic identity for the profession. In this presentation, Dr. Marchiori discusses the importance of our clinical and public perception re-search, educational programs, values, and professional community to inform and drive our profession’s success.

Friday 8:00 am – 10:00 am Instructor: Dennis Marchiori, DC, PhD

Nutritional supplements can greatly speed up the healing process when used correctly. As health care providers, we need to know the supplements we are recommending are safe and effective. To that end, we will cover important nutrient-drug-food interactions that every practitioner needs to be aware of. Once more, we will help you see through claims of ‘high quality’ supplements and show you exactly how to differentiate between good quality and poor-quality supplements. The difference could be life altering to your patients.

Practical Solutions for Resolving Low Back Pain Challenges (Orthopedic Diplomate Qualified CE) – 10 CE DCBack by popular demand!

Dr. Bertelsman’s practical and entertaining 10-hour presentation will begin with a review of the current evidence-based evaluation and management of common lumbar structural pathology. The fast-paced discussion will progress to highlight five commonly overlooked “functional” problems that delay NMS recovery. In one way or another, these functional diagnoses contribute to many, if not all, of the lumbar structural diagnoses that chiropractors treat. The presentation concludes by sharing current knowledge about “treatment classification” to help providers accurately predict and choose the most likely solutions.
