Chiropractic care does not end at the spine. The ability to confidently assess and adjust the upper and lower extremities is one of the most powerful skills a chiropractor can carry into daily practice. Yet many practitioners were given only a brief introduction to extremity work during school, leaving gaps in hands-on confidence, clinical reasoning, and the ability to integrate extremity findings with whole-body structural pattern. This one-day, 8-hour seminar is designed specifically for chiropractors who want to elevate their extremity adjusting to a precise, outcome-focused, and clinically applicable level. We will break down the major joints of the shoulder, elbow, wrist/hand, hip, knee, ankle, and foot, and provide you with clear, repeatable assessment procedures to determine when an extremity should be adjusted, how to adjust it safely, and what secondary effects to expect on overall posture and gait. More than just technique, you will learn how extremity dysfunction contributes to global compensation patterns—jaw asymmetry from a dropped shoulder, pelvic rotation from a pronated foot, sacroiliac strain from a chronic ankle sprain, and more. We will highlight clinical “red flags” to differentiate when pain is coming from joint mechanics, soft tissue load, nerve irritation, or systemic pathology, so your care plans remain informed, efficient, and highly targeted. This seminar includes:

• Real-time guided palpation and landmarking to improve your “feel.”
• High-yield adjusting setups you can use Monday morning.
• Joint-by-joint clinical cues to determine when to mobilise vs. adjust.
• Strategies to integrate extremity adjusting into short and long-term treatment plans.
• Case-based troubleshooting: frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, carpal tunnel patterns, chronic knee tracking issues, plantar fasciitis, and more.

Whether you are a recent graduate seeking confidence, or an experienced practitioner looking to expand your treatment reach, this seminar will refresh your technique, sharpen your clinical outcomes, and enhance your reputation as a chiropractor who treats the whole person, not just the spine. Expect a fast-paced, hands-on, clinically relevant day that connects biomechanics, neurology, and adjusting artistry. Walk away with practical skills that elevate your patient results—and your practice. A detailed extremity adjusting manual will be forwarded after registration in a pdf format.  (as per sample shown).  (As per Bergmann textbook)
