This curriculum reflects real-world outcomes from patient-centered documentation, collaborative care workflows, and medical-legal clarity—taught by faculty known for advancing chiropractic’s evidence-based standards.
THE BIG PROMISE
Stop Writing Notes That Get Ignored. Start Creating Documentation That Gets Results.
Most clinicians were never taught how to create documentation that is:
-
demonstrative (shows pathology clearly)
-
evidence-based (supported by literature)
-
reproducible (consistent and defensible)
-
collaboration-ready (MD-friendly language)
-
patient-understandable (ethical and clear)
This program gives you a framework to produce documentation that becomes the arbiter for successful patient-centered collaborative care—and a powerful driver of professional credibility and referral growth.
WHY THIS PROGRAM MATTERS
The Problem: “Non-Specific Back Pain” Has Become a Default Diagnosis
Too often, real biomechanical and connective tissue pathology is dismissed because:
-
the clinician doesn’t know how to demonstrate it,
-
the language isn’t collaborative,
-
the imaging isn’t translated into actionable conclusions,
-
the documentation doesn’t connect findings to function, prognosis, and care planning.
The Solution: Evidence-Based Demonstrative Reporting
When you can document pathology demonstratively—and communicate it in a way that resonates with medical colleagues and patients—utilization rises because the evidence becomes undeniable.
This program has helped doctors build relationships with:
MD PCPs • medical specialists • ERs • urgent care centers • medical-legal stakeholders
WHO THIS IS FOR
This Program Is Ideal For:
-
Chiropractors who want to practice with advanced clinical credibility
-
Doctors working with trauma, mechanical spine disorders, disc pathology, and connective tissue injuries
-
Clinicians who want to improve referral and collaboration relationships
-
Providers who want to sharpen MRI interpretation, CT fundamentals, and injury age-dating
-
Anyone ready to move from “generic notes” to demonstrative, evidence-based reporting
WHAT YOU’LL BE ABLE TO DO AFTER THIS PROGRAM
By the end of this training, you’ll be able to:
✅ Use literature-backed standards to age-date injury and pathology
✅ Interpret and document MRI findings with clarity and defensibility
✅ Correlate MRI pathology to CT principles and sequencing
✅ Create a demonstrative diagnosis of biomechanical pathology
✅ Determine dysfunctional spinal segments and build a care roadmap
✅ Document the 10 most common tissues injured in trauma demonstratively
✅ Communicate findings ethically in language understood by MDs and patients
✅ Build professional credibility online through credential-based authority (not hype marketing)
CURRICULUM OVERVIEW
Module 1 (2 Hours) — Current & Future Trends in Documentation & Practice Growth
Faculty: Mark Studin, DC, FPSC, DAAPM • Don Capoferri, DC, FSBT, FPSC, BCN
Evidence-based demonstrative documentation is increasingly the “standard” for patient-centered collaborative care. You’ll learn how documentation and reputation-building have already supported stronger relationships with MD PCPs, specialists, ERs, and urgent care centers, and how evidence-driven reporting can help remove outdated “non-specific back pain” dogma.
Key outcomes:
-
Understand the documentation trends shaping referral behaviors
-
Build a defensible, evidence-based reporting model
-
Elevate clinical credibility to support collaborative relationships
Module 2 (2 Hours) — Master Class in Connective Tissue Pathology
Understanding Biomechanical Pathology (Subluxation)
Faculty: Mark Studin • Don Capoferri
Connective tissue is foundational to non-surgical management of mechanical spine disorders. This master class covers ligament physiology (micro and macroscopic), integration with the peripheral nervous system, CNS plasticity, and the clinical relevance of proprioception and mechanoreception.
Key outcomes:
-
Understand ligament physiology and injury pathways
-
Connect spinal adjustment concepts to CNS responses
-
Differentiate chiropractic adjustment vs. manipulation in clinical terms
Module 3 (1.5 Hours) — Biomechanical Pathology Demonstrative Diagnosis
Faculty: Mark Studin • Don Capoferri
Learn the biomechanics of spinal anatomy to create accurate diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment plans. You’ll explore sagittal balance concepts and technology-driven approaches to demonstrate biomechanical pathology in a reproducible, evidence-based manner.
Key outcomes:
-
Build demonstrative diagnosis workflows
-
Validate trauma equality and long-term care necessity when clinically indicated
-
Identify dysfunctional segments and determine vectors / timing / MMI benchmarks
Module 4 (2 Hours) — Master Class in Spinal Disc Pathology & Trauma
Faculty: Mark Studin • Don Capoferri
This module focuses on disc microanatomy and physiology—nucleus pulposus and annulus fibrosis—contrasting normal vs. trauma-based pathology. You’ll learn demonstrative MRI interpretation, including colorized imaging workflows to depict disc pathology relative to the spinal cord and nerve roots.
Key outcomes:
-
Interpret MRI disc pathology demonstratively
-
Translate findings into ethical, collaborative language
-
Document the 10 most common trauma-injured tissues clearly
Module 5 (2 Hours) — Age-Dating Bodily Injuries
Faculty: Mark Studin • Don Capoferri
Age-dating injury—especially disc-focused trauma—has become a major differentiator in clinical clarity and collaborative relationships. This module teaches 20 evidence-based methods to age-date trauma using literature-backed principles.
Key outcomes:
-
Identify proximate cause and stage of tissue repair vs. permanency
-
Build accurate prognosis and care planning based on tissue phase
-
Document acute vs. chronic injury demonstratively and ethically
Module 6 (2.5 Hours) — CT Interpretation Correlated to MRI Findings
Faculty: Patricia Roche, DO • Mark Studin • Don Capoferri
Get the fundamentals of spinal CT interpretation: sequencing, acquisition, reformatting, and using diagnostic “windows” (bone, abdomen, chest, etc.) to identify pathology. You’ll also correlate MRI sequences (T1, T2, STIR, proton density, Dixon, T2 fat-sat) to CT findings for more complete conclusions.
Key outcomes:
-
Understand CT workflow and interpretation basics
-
Match MRI sequences to clinical questions and pathology types
-
Learn comorbidities that limit imaging selection and how to respond appropriately
-
Analyze all sequences systematically to improve diagnostic accuracy
Module 7 (1 Hour) — Ethical Social Media for Clinical Reputation
Faculty: Mark Studin • Don Capoferri

Key outcomes:
-
Document connective tissue pathology conclusively
-
Build specific, individualized treatment plans (not predetermined care)
-
Demonstrate necessity for long-term care when clinically indicated
-
Improve clarity for specialists, payers, attorneys, and patients
