Revelations in Cancer & Chiropractic Treatment
Over the last decade there has been a remarkable increase in the number of scientific conferences and societies that focus almost exclusively on tumor metabolism and growth factors associated with metabolic signaling. Of particular relevance is the intersection of metabolism with epigenetic control and metabolic reprogramming of aberrant signaling pathways that promote the Warburg effect. This renewed interest in the cause and consequences of the Warburg effect has invigorated cancer research and promises to redirect our efforts down a path that will translate into more effective cancer treatment and prevention strategies.
Empowering the Chiropractic Treatment: Neural Control, Mechanical Stability & Consciousness
This program will enhance the doctor’s awareness of consciousness and science as it relates to treating the nervous system. The doctor will know more fully the relationship between the nervous system and various functions throughout the body including: proprioception, reflexes, the aberrant nervous system, the neurological system and mechanisms that work with function in order to better treat his patients.
It is through your nervous system that your true potential is fueled.
The nervous system influences whatever it can control. This involves glandular function (hormones & immunity), digestion, elimination, movement, as well as thought and emotion. These functions are vital for our health.
Acupuncture Systems & Techniques
Important analogies between the trigger points of and acupuncture points have been demonstrated. Gunn et al found of 100 acupuncture loci chosen at random, 70 were motor points in muscles. In this seminar, you will learn current knowledge of anatomy, physiology and pathology and the principles of evidence-based medicine within acupuncture. The effects of acupuncture can be understood through mechanisms that are increasingly well known.
Analysis of the Stress Response Effects on Vertebral Subluxations
We live in a fast pace, stress filled society leading to cascade of potentially negative neurological effects on the body. The vertebral subluxation significantly adds to this allostatic load.
Thoroughly understanding these mechanisms allows the Chiropractor to have a greater appreciation of the various health issues that their patients are presenting with as well as the role that correcting the vertebral subluxation plays in helping them.
Dr. Humberg will be teaching very specific and accurate methods of analyzing vertebral subluxations in this hands-on program. You’ll learn the why and what we look in various forms of analysis, including neurological concepts, static palpation, motion palpation, various muscle testing, reflex testing, leg checks and more.

Outcome Assessment Tools: Acute vs. Chronic vs. Maintenance/Wellness
"Chiropractic: It Works."
That was enough for a long time, but Chiropractic practice today demands more. Regardless of your practice style or philosophy, outcome assessments are the universal language of health care.
Outcome assessments are the gold standard of justification for treatment; whether that be at an elevated interval due to acute pain or dysfunction or at a reduced interval with minimal pain but persistent dysfunction.
Outcome assessments bridge that gap and justify care within the very diverse chiropractic community, reviewers, payors, insurance companies, judges and juries. Being well versed and able to utilize them is essential for patient care in the 21st century.
Dr. Darrach will review the different types of assessment tools beside Oswestry and NDI: what they mean and how to incorporate them into your everyday practice. Acute vs Chronic vs Maintenance/Wellness. Confusing these can put chiropractors at risk during post payment audits. Learn how to transition between each.

Peripheral nerve entrapments can occur in multiple locations along the extraspinal extent of the nerve – between the intervertebral foramen and the most distal nerve endings in the extremities. The most frequent symptom of locomotor system adaptation/dysfunction is pain. The structure that most frequently expresses pain is the muscle with its trigger points and painful attachments. Treatment must address the etiology causing the nerve compression.
Dr. Carter will teach what to look for when you take the history and perform the physical exam. He will show you how to correctly identify and treat nerve entrapments successfully. You will learn the compression of different nerve types and symptoms associated with each that you can treat successfully, then move on to how to best treat them and help your patients.
