Program Description: 

The Integrated Neurological Therapy (INT) program is designed to offer an increase in depth of knowledge for the Chiropractor so they can offer hope and vitality to those that are suffering, vulnerable, injured or ill. Offering sound dietary and nutritional advice for a basis of health is important for joint and brain function. Understanding the segmental and neurological impact from receptor-based therapy (Chiropractic Adjustments) is crucial to patients in need of manual therapy. An understanding of skeletal biomechanics that is appropriate for optimal motion and brain response is the synergistic integrative that modern and evolving Chiropractic care is moving towards. This class will lead attendees in that direction.    

Program Goals / Objectives: 

Chiropractic, Nutrition, and Functional Neurological Therapy for Practitioners (Part One)

1. To outline ethical and reliable criteria when discussing all aspects of the lecture in a way that follows scope of practice set forth by local and regional officiating bodies 
2. To understand the breadth, depth and application of the three inflammatory reducing principles
   1. Good brain health
   2. Nutrition for environmental exposure
   3. Nutrition for stress reduction
3. To understand the breadth, depth and application of a comprehensive neurological examination and the three major systems.
   1. Motor
   2. Sensory
   3. Cortex and cerebellum
   4. Progression to the vestibular system
4. To understand the breadth, depth and application of spinal biomechanics (Continued)
   1. Coupled lateral flexion and rotation mechanics
   2. Soft tissue applications and muscle identification
   3. Brain – joint synchronization (BJS)

Summary:

• Exam techniques
• Nutrition and inflammation triggers and antecedents
