    Session details

    There is an epidemic of overprescribing of birth control, anti depressants, HRT, bio identical hormones, thyroid medication, stimulants, and many other unnecessary medications or procedures that are no more than a dangerous piece of duct tape put over the female “check engine light”.

    If we don’t talk to our women patients, who will?   Now is the time.  We are surrounded by colleagues who are leaders in women’s nutrition.  We must start working as a team.  If you do not want to do this type of work, that’s fine, but make sure you are helping them find the right person.

    Women’s health issues are complicated and messy.  But the body wants to be well and often it takes a few small steps to get her moving in the right direction.  There are no short cuts but there are REAL solutions.  It is time to take back our health and all decisions surrounding it.

    Session details

    Radiculopathy can be a challenging clinical presentation by patients. Understanding the clinical approach towards a proper diagnosis can lead to a more effective treatment. Traction therapy has been used in health care as a modality for centuries. Research over the past decade has demonstrated mixed reviews (due to study design) of its effectiveness – until now. Learn about the clinical approach to evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment including the evidence behind traction and its effect on Cervical and Lumbar radiculopathy and how you can provide a treatment approach in-office that incorporates traction.

    Learning Objectives

    1. Learn clinical examination procedures for cervical and lumbar radiculopathy
    2. Review the literature on the therapeutic effectiveness of traction
    3. Understand the dynamics leading to effectiveness in treating disc lesions with traction and traction with motion.
