I am thrilled to present the half-day version of the Carrick Insitute's Concussion Bootcamp for Chiropractors to the Ohio State Chiropractic Association (OSCA) at its Annual Convention in October.
Summary: Concussions are complex injuries requiring extensive training and specialty consultation. They are occurring in the general population at staggering incidence rates - more than diabetes and more cancer diagnoses. Chiropractors have a unique position in the healthcare system, with established patient relationships and more frequent interactions, allowing them to be pivotal stewards of brain health and safety. However, research has demonstrated that knowledge among ALL healthcare providers is deficient in identifying and managing mTBI. While many individuals don’t know if they were concussed or the magnitude that their injury may have on their life, this 4-hour, fast-paced course will aid its attendees in making solid recommendations by covering the breadth of concussion, from acute/sideline management, sub-acute therapeutics, and the 7 subtypes of concussion. We aim to enable chiropractors to properly manage or refer patients with concussions, reduce long-term suffering, and promote brain health.
Hour 1:
Defining concussion, epidemiology, predicting concussion, and prognosis
The pathophysiology of concussion
7 subtypes of concussion
Time-Of-Impact/Sideline Protocols
Hour 2:
Managing Concussion Sequela: the first 48 hours
Special Population Curve-Balls
Hour 3:
Overview of a 7-domain concussion evaluation to determine concussion subtype(s)
Hour 4:
Managing Concussion Sequela: 48 hours to 10 days
Making an appropriate referral
Return-to-Life Protocols

This 2-hour workshop being presented for the Tennessee Chiropractic Association has been developed with one objective in mind: to make functional neurology easily understood, applied, and implemented, for the general chiropractor. The brain is the master control system, and everything a chiropractor does influences a patient’s brain. During this workshop, Dr. Antonucci will help you to develop your neurological observational skills and provide you with simple yet effective assessments, and applications that you can implement immediately with your current patient population.
Photobiomodulation (PBM) is the term given to a procedure that changes the function of living structures utilizes radiation in the form of light. Over the past 60 years, the understanding and research of PBM have allowed the creation of commercial and professional devices with FDA approval and clinical success. This course aims to elaborate on the mechanisms, dosimetry, and pragmatism of utilization as an intervention for acquired brain injuries.
