Evaluation and Management of Low Back Conditions Level 2 will investigate the three spinal stabilizing systems and their function in spinal biomechanics. The recent research on how the timing and dysfunction of the different core muscles is associated with low back pain. The very important differences between the pars thoracis and pars lumborum muscles and their role in spinal stabilization. Mechanical loading and the delicate U-shaped balance of proper spinal loading and the causes of low back injury. Compression vs Shear loading and their spinal tolerances and how thoracic and lumbar spinal loads fluctuate with postural changes. Spinal loading in pushing and pulling exercises and the affect it has on spinal musculature and spinal ligaments.

Evaluation and Management of Low Back Conditions Level 3 – Credit Hours: 2Clinical

Evaluation and Management of Low Back Conditions Level 3  will review the basic principles of spinal biomechanics identifying what causes the most spinal loading in posture, exercises and movements with an emphasis on the different muscles of the spine and the most efficient exercises to prescribe treat low back dysfunction. How to evaluate spinal biomechanics and the best way to achieve proper pain free movement. The importance of the initial clinician/patient meeting and the nine objectives that must be discussed during that examination process. Crossed Pelvis Syndrome facilitated and inhibited muscles and how to fix this dysfunction. How to evaluate the proper movement patterns in spinal biomechanics such as sitting, standing, rising, walking, scapular movement, hip hinging, bending, and torquing.  A Spinal Exercise Training Program will be prescribed in stages.  Stage 1 Detect and Correct Motion, Stage 2 Build Whole Body and Joint Stability, Stage 3 Increase Endurance
Exercises will be demonstrated to detect and correct motion such as hip hinging, cat/camel, shortstop position, wall rolls, squats, build core stability such as shoulder Y, curl up, plank, bridges, bird dog, and foundation training. This is a must seminar series for any clinician that wants to get their low back pain patients on the road to recovery!

Functional Diagnosis and Treatment of Muscle Dysfunction: Evalution and Treatment of Inhibited and Hypertonic Muscles – Credit Hours: 2Clinical

This course will provide the clinician the instruction necessary to understand how to diagnose inhibited muscles using static posture and gait analysis and treatment of those inhibited muscles using Origin/Insertion, Myogelosis, Trigger Point, Reactive Muscle Pairs, and Neurolymphatic Reflex techniques.  This course will review the basic principles of static posture and gait and the neurology, and physiology of muscles and what may cause them to be inhibited or hypertonic. If you do any muscle therapy in your practice this course will add to your treatment arsenal!

Functional Diagnosis and Treatment of Muscle Dysfunction: The Art of Muscle Testing – Credit Hours: 2Clinical

This course instructs the Clinician  how to functionally muscle test common muscles seen in a musculoskeletal practice which will improve the diagnosis of the correct vertebral or extremiy subluxation. It takes a deep dive into the principles of muscle anatomy, neurology, physiology and action. The clinician will learn how to diagnose muscle dysfunctions using the ability to determine inhibited and hypertonic muscles.  This course is recommended to be taken with Evaluation and Treatment of Inhibited and Hypertonic Muscles and together, will solidify your ability to make certain you are adjusting the correct subluxation through muscle biomechanics which will improve your patient outcomes!

Radiology of Spondylolisthesis – Credit Hours: 1Clinical

The purpose of this course is to aid the Chiropractic Profession by providing Chiropractors with the information regarding the radiographic diagnosis and evaluation of spinal spondylolisthesis including application of advanced imaging modalities. Topics include:

• Discussion of the radiographic diagnosis and evaluation of spinal spondylolisthesis
• Identification of the different types of spondylolistheses
• The application of advanced imaging modalities

Radiology Rounds: Reducing X-ray Anxiety – Credit Hours: 1Clinical

This course is instructed by Marshall Deltoff DC, DACBR, FCCR, on of the premier Chiropractic radiologists of our time. Dr. Deltoff was selected to assist Yochum, T. & Rowe, L. in the final editorial process of textbook: “Essentials of Skeletal Radiology”.  Topics he will cover include:

• Developing an understanding of basic xray interpretation through a radiology rounds environment. Application of the 12-step approach to film interpretation to a variety of radiologic cases, in an informal, rounds format.
• C.A.T.B.I.T.E.S – Congenital, Arthritis, Tumor, Blood, Infection, Trauma, Endocrine, Soft Tissue
• Discussion of different types of cancers seen on Xray and their featured appearances.
• Lower extremity, pelvis, and lumbar spine cases covered.
• Upper extremity, thoracic, and cervical spine cases covered.
• Children and adolescent cases covered.

This course will remove any anxiety that comes with x-ray interpretation and will give you the confidence to know when a radiological referral may be needed!

Sexual Boundaries – Credit Hours: 2Risk Management

The purpose of this course is to aid the Chiropractic Profession by providing Chiropractors with the knowledge of ethics and sexual boundaries with their patients and staff. Case studies and laws relating to understanding and avoiding ethical and sexual boundaries issues in the Chiropractic setting will be used. The following topics will be covered:
