Title: Pain Reset - Chiropractic & Clinical Neuroscience for Solving Chronic Pain (2 CE Hours)
Instructor : Adam Harcourt, DC, DACNB, FACFN, FABVR
Sponsored by Carrick Institute
This 2-hour workshop taught by Adam Harcourt, DC, professor of clinical neurology for the Carrick Institute of Graduate Studies, has been designed to give participants insights into how understanding pain neuroscience, along with the application of clinical neuroscience in the chiropractic setting, can be used to solve chronic pain. The workshop will take participants on a journey starting with the “Gate Theory of Pain,” first devised in 1965 by Melzack and Wall, to the more modern encompassing “Neuromatrix” theory focusing on the central nervous system’s involvement in the human pain experience. Dr. Harcourt will guide you on this journey focusing on the elements of the nervous system that are involved in pain processing and how dysfunction in areas of the brain contributes to both altered biomechanics and the chronic pain experience. More importantly, Dr. Harcourt will emphasize the connection between your neurological observations and how they influence the type of treatment you would give your patient.

Title: Why Stress and Trauma Make People Sick and Why Chiropractic Care May Help Due to Its Effect on the Prefrontal Cortex (2 CE Hours)
Instructor: Heidi Haavik, DC
Sponsored by Haavik Research
In this session, world renowned researcher Heidi Haavik, DC, will discuss the science about how stress and traumatic experiences negatively impacts our brain function and our health by causing most of the common chronic diseases of today. This session also covers the science that is showing us that spinal dysfunction negatively impacts brain function, and that chiropractic adjustments can reverse this. The fact that science is showing that chiropractic adjustments impact processing in the prefrontal cortex has major implications for how we may be impacting our patient’s health. This research literally is the “Chiropractor’s Dream,” because the prefrontal cortex is vital for one’s intelligence, movement control, pain processing, mental health, immune system, and inflammation (thus, most chronic diseases)! Dr. Haavik will explain all of this to you in an easy-to-understand language. She will share with you a summary of where we are today with the neurophysiological understanding of the impact of spinal function on brain function and will discuss what future implications this has for us as a profession.

Instructor: Chris Oswald, DC

Section 1:
- NP Full body assessment (your history must include 1/10 pain scale ratings and drawings to allow you to constantly check back, particularly at re-evaluation) Motion vs static prone palpation.
- Top three questions to rule out ominous DDX.
- X-rays- review why they are important
- Short or long term care - no surprises.
- Case study - occipitalization.
- ROF - convey diagnosis/treatment plan/informed consent and why it is important to follow both an in-office and in-home plan. If you, the patient, compromises the plan they affect their health outcomes and your reputation but also the reputation of the chiropractic profession. Build trust. Commit or don't, but you as a provider don't compromise.

- Stretching
- Why is this imperative for all home care plans?
- Scientific benefits of stretching.
- Assets to help you improve compliance (every attendee will be given a mini version of Dr. Chris’ bestselling stretching e-book, Stretching for Fitness, Health, and Performance to share with their patients.
- The importance of a 12-minute daily routine for chiropractors, staff, and patients.
- Value of ergonomics or posture/positioning in everything we do, from watching TV to reading to lifting kids or groceries, even the way we set up for an adjustment has a massive impact in the load/stress we place on our bodies.
- As the Official Ergonomic officer for Office Depot prior to the pandemic, my role was to research 178 papers to support the claims that they would make for ergonomic chairs, sit stand desks/yoga ball seating etc.
- Combined with our expertise min sleep and sleep products, we are focused on fit ability in all we do (sitting, sleeping, standing, and lifting.)
- Why? To hold the adjustment, to break chronic pain behaviors, to maintain the " wow" factor, get better outcomes and improve referrals from your patients (shared assets to use in your practice Monday morning on ergonomics)
- Commonly asked questions and answers will be provided and an email to reach out to Dr. Chris for further questions (may include what to look for in an ergonomic chair, mattress, pillow or topical that you recommend or sell in your clinic.)

Title: Informed Consent & Chiropractic Red Flags to Avoid
Instructor: Edward Zimmer, DC
Sponsored by ChiroPreferred
Informed Consent
The common consideration given to the topic of informed consent is that as long as you have
a patient sign a statement listing potential risks you are covered. There is so much more you
need to know. Every malpractice lawsuit will allege lack of informed consent. In one short
hour you will learn that there are several aspects of your informed consent which are most
likely missing. These missing parts could render your form worthless when it is challenged.
You will also learn how to craft a more effective informed consent to reduce your risks
should any legal action ever be taken against you.
Chiropractic Red Flags to Avoid
Dr. Edward Zimmer has a unique background as he was an insurance adjuster prior to going to chiropractic school. He has done thousands of chiropractic peer reviews over a 20-year period of time. He is going to share with you the 6 Red Flags to avoid so your treatments do not get flagged for review. Implementing a few simple changes will allow you to defend your treatments with confidence, reduce your malpractice liability, and ultimately increase your revenues.
