Triune Seminar
November 19-20, 2022!
This seminar is for students and young doctors to put all the pieces together.
In school they teach you how to pass boards, but when a patient comes in with XYZ...you are often left scratching your head on what pieces you learned in various classes or seminars might benefit them.
In this seminar weekend we will take a regional, holistic approach that mimics real life patients.
Most chiropractic practices will have a patient that walks in the door and says, "hey doc, this right here hurts, what is it and can you help me?"
They point to:
1. Low back pain complaint.
2. Shoulder complaint
3. Hip pain complaint
4. Cervical/Thoracic complaint
(any complaint)
This seminar weekend we will go through my Triune Framework on how to break it down through examination/testing to find the root causes and then fix them!
In each body region we will go through (from a 30,000 foot perspective)
1. How to muscle test/functional test/orthopedic test in that region of the body to give you answers to the patient question of, "what's wrong with me?"
2. How to palpate the vertebra and extremities in that region of the body.
3. How to Adjust all the necessary structures in that area.
4. How to give patient homework for your exam findings.
5. What are the other parts of the triangle of health (nutritional and emotional) I could be checking for with this patient based on this region.
We will workshop this stuff A LOT. You will have handouts so you can follow along and then also study later at home.
In general we will break down each region until we run out of time. I fully expect us not to be able to get through every region of the body but if people want we can do more seminars in the future to cover the whole body.
The regions in order we will go through are
1. Low Back/Hips
2. Neck/Shoulder/Mid Back
3. Feet

SIDENOTE ABOUT ME:
I have a 3 month waiting list practice. We have an awesome reputation as being the best chiropractic office around in our community. We had a waiting list practice even through the pandemic. I don't have a specialist practice, I treat a LOT of different things. I have been to >60 seminars. AK Hour 100, Advanced AK seminars, NET, Gonstead, TBM, NRT, TK, Functional Medicine, McKenzie, Sports Rehab, Gait, Motion Palpation, fascial trains, etc. I blend them together utilizing the Triad of Health from DD Palmer/Goodheart. I look at every patient as a structural, nutritional, and emotional point of view and treat accordingly. I took 10 years to put together a framework where I could examine and treat a patient utilizing the triangle of health in a repeatable fashion in an efficient enough timetable to see 20 patients a day. This seminar will save you a decade of 'figuring it out'. This is the seminar (and we can do more in the future) that I wish I had as a student/young doc.

- We will go over how to communicate with spine models and wall posters your findings so patients 'get it'
- How to determine an acute patient that needs 2-3x/week or a moderate patient who needs 1x/week or a simpler case who would benefit from 2x/month.
- How to communicate their progress from acute case to 1x/month wellness case to build your practice with patients you enjoy treating
