Track 1 – “Dr. Jenny” Brocker will present “Chiropractic Management of Common Pregnancy and Pediatric Conditions”. Low back pain and pubic symphysis dysfunction are often dismissed as normal during pregnancy, but just because they are common, does not mean they are normal. This program will review these common conditions, including how they might present differently during pregnancy, adjusting tips to keep mom comfortable, and home care recommendations to keep moms feeling good.
Track 2 – Dr. Brian Jensen will present “The Changing Brain- Applying the principles of Neuroplasticity to Pain, Posture, Stress”. With a greater understanding of how the nervous system works and responds to our environment, we can now improve patient outcomes by making predictable changes to pain, postural integrity, balance, and functional movement.
