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)!

Pain Reset – Chiropractic & Clinical Neuroscience for Solving Chronic Pain (2 CE ) FRIDAY 8:15 AM - 10:15 AM 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. biography

SESSION DESCRIPTION
Overview of Autism Spectrum Disorder (2 CE) FRIDAY 1:15 PM - 3:15 PM Sponsored by NCMIC Join us for an introductory level overview of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) presenting basic facts, including autism rates, signs, symptoms, conventional medical approaches, prognosis, and aspects of autistic culture. Speaker and autism expert Janet Lintala, DC, also will discuss the underlying health challenges, dysfunctions, and comorbid conditions of ASD. The program also will include an adult autism case from Dr. Lintala’s practice. Biography
With 50,000 children being diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) each year, there is now a virtual “silent tsunami” of individuals with specific medical and chiropractic needs. In her workshop, Dr. Janet Lintala integrates the clinical experience of a biomedical autism practice with the first-hand experience only an autism parent can deliver. As an autism parent, she understands the complete confusion this diagnosis brings. As a doctor, she sees the holes, contradictions and even nonsense in the treatment approaches families are offered. Helping autism families cut through the confusion and apply effective treatments and therapies has become her passion. Dr. Lintala cuts through the “autism clutter” and provides a clear and logical plan. Using straightforward language, case studies, and specific strategies and protocols, Dr. Lintala gives clinicians the tools they need to take action and help their patient with ASD in ways that can show immediate results. Dr. Lintala received a B.S. in Genetics from The Ohio State University. She earned her Doctor of Chiropractic degree from NUHS as salutatorian, summa cum laude, one month before the birth of her first son (among two) on the autism spectrum. She discovered that current medical and chiropractic knowledge did not offer her many tools to help her child at that time. Raising her sons has been an 18-year “residency” in Autism Spectrum Disorder and its related conditions. Dr. Lintala is the founder of The Autism Recovery Resource Center, serving patients in 10 states, and does extensive pro bono work at the center. She is currently an adjunct faculty member at NUHS, a speaker for Intersect4Kids, and has mentored with Elizabeth Mumper, M.D., former medical director of the Autism Research Institute. |
