Advanced Adjusting: Creating Power and Practitioner Safety

Cost: $500

2/23 – 8:00 – 10:30 am  

Instructors: 
Lead – Dr. Jason Granger
Assisting – Dr. Jose Portela, Dr. Levi Colt Wainwright

The purpose of this workshop is to advance the attendees proficiency in the NUCCA Adjusting Skill, Headpiece placement and biomechanical understanding necessary to create a certified correction to the ACS

A kinesthetic learning experience will be created to further develop the motor skill of the Triceps Pull Adjustment. The goal is that each attendee will improve their own necessary muscular activation and coordination to create power, but also learn how this activation creates safety for the adjuster.

Attendees will have the opportunity to watch a live patient go through a certified correction. We will discuss the biomechanical thought process necessary to fully work it down in person.

  • Requirements:
    • This Regional Conference is for doctors with at least 12 months of experience practicing NUCCA.
 
Space is limited to maximize benefit to 16 attendees.

Please note: Workshops should take place during the summer or winter months to not interfere with conference attendance. (Summer: June, July, August / Winter: December, January, February)

In consultation with the Education Committee, Dr. Glen Cripe, Dr. Tym Flory, and Dr. Jeff Scholten met regularly in 2018 to conceptualize an enhancement to the methods by which NUCCA doctors are trained.

Regular conference attendance is still crucial, however, the development of kinesthetic, clinical, and research excellence requires the availability of more frequent mentorship opportunities. To this end, we will begin to test the desire of our membership for NUCCA Approved Regional Workshops over the next few years. The first beta version of these workshops occurred in February 2019 in Newport Beach, facilitated by Dr. Glen Cripe. More workshops will be offered regionally in the Winter of 2020. Tentative plans exist for Atlanta, Seattle, LA, Orange County and San Francisco.

If you are a NUCCA Credentialed Instructor, a Diplomate in Chiropractic Craniocervical Junction Procedures (NUCCA), or have special post graduate expertise and have an interest in understanding more about how you can get involved and provide NUCCA Approved Regional Workshops, please contact Dr. Jeff Scholten, Dr. Tym Flory or NUCCA.
