Course description:

I will describe (what I have discovered over the past 40 years) essential clinical hints and tips that are invaluable to chiropractic practitioners, especially new graduates. These clinical hints will serve in refining your skills, deepen your understanding, and hopefully to stop ‘second guessing yourself’! As such, you will be able to deliver exceptional care to your patients. As I delve into several different clinical hints for chiropractic practice, I explore various topics, from patient assessment and
diagnosis to treatment techniques. By integrating these insights into your chiropractic practice, you can provide a higher level of
care. Whether you are seeking to refine your adjustment techniques, broaden your knowledge of patient care, or simply stay updated with the latest advancements in chiropractic practice, this guide is
designed to be a valuable companion on your professional path.

Let’s embark on this journey together, where the art and science
of chiropractic care come alive, enhancing the lives of your
patients and the satisfaction of your practice.

It is my goal that by the end of this seminar, you will not only be
equipped with clinical hints and insights to elevate your
chiropractic practice but also inspired to make a further positive
impact on the health and well-being of your patients.
