In the ever-evolving world of healthcare, understanding the deeper mechanisms behind therapeutic interventions is crucial. This is precisely what Dr. Antonucci's 1-hour presentation unravels. Diving into the neurology behind a chiropractic adjustment, Dr. Antonucci offers a fusion of clinical expertise and cutting-edge neuroscience, aiming to provide attendees with an enriched understanding of why and how chiropractic care can profoundly impact overall health and well-being. Drawing from years of rigorous research, clinical observations, and patient testimonials, he elucidates the often misunderstood neurological pathways activated during chiropractic adjustments, shedding light on their holistic benefits.

This hands introduction workshop is designed to teach you how your adjustments affect the brain and how knowing this information changes how you adjust your patients. Various concepts of clinical neuroscience will be discussed relating to how subluxations negatively influence the brain. This learning-by-doing workshop focuses on the examination procedures to determine where the brain is not optimal and adjusting strategies to enhance human function.

Beyond just a clinical demonstration, Dr. Antonucci's presentation is a testament to blending traditional healing practices with contemporary scientific scrutiny. This session will be a game-changer for both seasoned chiropractors and students in the field, challenging conventional notions and introducing innovative ideas about the broader implications of chiropractic care on brain health, nervous system function, and systemic wellness. Participants can anticipate walking away with actionable insights, grounded in solid science, that can be directly applied to their practice or personal health journey. In an age where integrative health is at the forefront, understanding the neurology of chiropractic adjustments is not just beneficial – it's essential.

Many doctors don't consider how documenting stages of care in their patient records subsequently validates and facilitates healthcare progress nationally.  Chiropractic is widely known for treating low back pain, but do records accurately depict the biomechanical, neurological, and metabolic care the profession gives through all stages of care?

This lecture is designed to dive into the research and collaborative practice models of acute, subacute, chronic care, and health management, coupling each stage with accurate record-keeping and proper collaboration that complements strong patient recovery.

As part of this panel of experts, Dr. Antonucci will be discussing care and collaboration for the chronic patient, and how to remodel, rewire, and unwind disease through neuroplasticity.

Special thank you to Dr. Antonucci's sponsors:

• Vital Reaction: one of the industry leaders in the administration of molecular hydrogen, which decreases inflammation, and oxidative stress, and promotes anti-aging, and healthy gut function, all without any known level of toxicity.

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.

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.

This workshop, brought to you by the Carrick Institute, introduces chiropractic physicians to the tools, examination procedures, and clinical applications they need to help those suffering from concussion. Effectively treating concussion patients is not as simple as adjusting them. Learn the basics of what to know when evaluating a concussion patient and the basics of how this information influences your adjustments and other treatment approaches.
