care through advanced diagnostic and interpretive abilities.
Module 1 – 2 Hours
- Current and Future Trends in Documentation & Practice
Growth - History
Taking & Examination
Mark Studin DC,
Don Capoferri DC
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.
Module 2 – 2 Hours - MRI Spine Case
Review -Diagnostic
Testing & Differential Diagnosis
Patricia Roche DO,
Radiology, Neuroradiology
Mark Studin DC
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.
Module 3 – 1 Hour - Triage
Part 1 -Diagnostic
Testing & Differential Diagnosis
Mark Studin DC
Don Capoferri DC
Triage Skills: Learn how to effectively assess
and prioritize patient conditions in chronic and trauma cases to determine the
urgency of care needed, ensuring optimal patient outcomes. Then, create a
care-path using all available tools to conclude and accurate diagnosis.
Module 4 – 2 Hours Age-Dating
Herniated Disc, Diagnostic Testing & Differential
Diagnosis
Mark Studin DC
Don Capoferri DC
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 collaborating 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 rationale.
Module 5 – 2 Hour - Updated Trends in Spinal Biomechanics and Ligamentous Pathology
- History Taking & Examination
Mark Studin DC
Don Capoferri DC
Diagnosis and management of ligament (connective tissue)
pathology in chronic and acute patients. Evidence-based physiology of the
morphology, mechanisms, and sequella to trauma inclusive of compensatory
actions of the human spine. Master-Class in
ligaments; anatomy, physiology, vascularization, neurological innervation,
tissue repair and how they all relate to clinical practice. Ligament pathology correlates to the
mechanisms of path-neuro-biomechanical lesions (vertebral subluxation complex).
Also, how ligaments play a critical role in chiropractic spinal adjustment and
defining the chiropractic spinal adjustment mechanisms.
Module 6 – 1 Hour - Case
History Presentation- History
Taking & Examination
Mark Studin DC
Don Capoferri DC
Clinical grand rounds of
a case include disc, ligament, and spinal pathology. The creation of the
diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment plan. The changing of treatment plans and
diagnosis based upon follow-up examinations.
Module 7 – 2 hours – Latest
Evidence on Making Non-Specific Back Pain Specific - Diagnostic Testing & Differential
Diagnosis
Mark Studin DC
Don Capoferri DC
An evidence-based approach to spinal diagnosis and dispelling “non-specific
back pain.” A tutorial on taking the evidence and collaboratively with medical
specialists managing cases based upon the conclusive diagnosis.
Module 8 – 3
Hours - Creating Ethical
Collaborative Relationships and the Documentation that Fosters Those
Relationships -Ethical
Billing & Coding
Mark Studin DC
Don Capoferri DC
