May 6-7, 2023

Live Webinar

Syllabus

15 CE Credits

Course Description: This program is about how to use documentation and clinical acumen to create an accurate diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment plan for complicated cases in clinical chiropractic. It is based on the evidence and the literature with a focus on collaborative care with medical specialists when clinically indicated. Also, the program teaches a Doctor of Chiropractic how to be a primary spine care provider or the first option for spinal referral with treatment and triage equally handled in clinical practice. Connective tissue-ligament pathology and spinal disc pathology will be reviewed extensively to help determine a definitive diagnosis.

2023 Trends in Documentation

Evidence-Based demonstrative documentation is typically the arbiter for creating successful patient-centered collaborative care. This "reputation building" focus has already helped develop relationships with MD PCPs, MD Specialists, ERs, and Urgent Care Centers.  This demonstratively removed the Non-Specific Back Pain "Dogma" that too many have held because technology and the evidence have not supported what chiropractic has known for over a century. We now have those tools and once learned, chiropractic utilization "skyrockets because of the evidence.

MRI Spine Case Review

Clinical case review of MRI's including sagittal, axial, T1, T2, STIR, and proton density sequences. The vertebrate, spinal cord, discs, nerve roots, thecal sac, posterior longitudinal ligament, epidural veins, and fat saturation pulses will be identified. Pathology will include bulges, herniations, protrusions, extrusions, myelomalacia, cord edema, and Schmorl's nodes.

Age-Dating Herniated Disc and Master-Class in Ligament Physiology

Age-dating herniated discs and trauma is a critical skill for an expert in spine. It combines the clinical skills of interpreting X-ray, MRI, and other imaging modalities with a clinician's understanding of joint pathology. This level of expertise is critical when collaborated with other physicians or working in the medical-legal environment as an expert. Age-dating pathology is also central to creating a prognosis on your patient's recovery and must be evidence-based in rationale. Master-Class in ligaments; anatomy, physiology, vascularization, neurological innervation, tissue repair and how they all relate to clinical practice.  Ligament pathology correlating to the mechanisms of path-neuro-biomechanical lesions (vertebral subluxation complex). Also, how ligaments play a critical role in a chiropractic spinal adjustment and defining the chiropractic spinal adjustment mechanisms.
