| Description: | Course Objective: Our objective is to demonstrate how quickly someone can pick up this form of treatment and make a significant change in a vast majority of patients treated with FAKTR-PM. Regardless of technique practiced, whether it is Graston Tech, MRT, Gua Sha, Cyriax, or any others you’ll want to learn this innovative concept to use in conjunction with the techniques you already use. You will learn how to incorporate FAKTR-PM into your treatment protocols on Monday morning. This is a simple, yet very effective means of treating & rehabbing soft tissue/fascial pain problems. Course Outline: We discuss the origin of FAKTR-PM and why we have chosen to treat patients utilizing this protocol. We also discuss portions of Anatomy Trains by Thomas Meyers, Tensegrity, articles in Spine by Barker, et al, Janda concepts in rehab, and other related literature. We then undertake 6 different areas of the body and go through them systematically including how to accurately assess each area discussed with functional examinations, treatment with all components of FAKTR-PM and then pair the audience and allow them to utilize a hands-on treatment with us supervising. Butler’s Nerve Flossing will also be covered. Upon completion of treating each other for a specific body part, an introduction to Kinesiotape (KT) follows. We then demonstrate to the class how to apply KT for problems specific to the body part just treated, and then allow the attendees to have an opportunity to apply KT to each other. We supply the KT for the class. The areas covered include the shoulder, elbow, ankle, knee, cervical and lumbar spines. The course is 13 1/2 hours with a significant portion of hands on. Anatomy – Mechanism of Injury - Orthopedic Testing - Treatment -Demonstration - Static/Motion and Kinesiotaping Techniques of conditions specifically addressed in this course are: • Upper Extremity, Rotator Cuff Injury, lat epicondylosis • Cervical and Lumbar Radicular disorders • Lower Extremity, Patella Femoral Syndrome • Lateral Ankle Sprain • Cervical Spine - levator, scalenes, SCM's and suboccipitals • Lumbar Spine - quadratus lumborum and compartment syndrome For Questions contact: Antonio Pugliese, DC @ 1-908-654-3040 of Sportscouncil@anjc.info Venue: Days Inn - 195 Route 18 South, NJ Tpk/I-95 Exit 9, E.

| Description: | This twelve hour experience deals with the somatovisceral aspects of spinal trauma well outside the sprain/strain "box". The concept of trauma is broadened well beyond the narrow territory of auto accidents, work injuries, etc. Finally, Dr. Masarsky won't just discuss how the adjustment helps the body recover from trauma, but also how the adjustment may prevent future trauma. Course participants will be given practical tools for clinical assessment and patient education backed up by solid science. Course Objectives: Courses on spinal trauma generally focus on the musculoskeletal consequences of obvious macro-trauma. This course will add to the practitioner’s knowledge base with a discussion of the autonomic aspects of non-obvious cumulative micro-trauma. Practical aspects of this material will be discussed, particularly in terms of clinical assessment and patient education. Statement of Purpose: Recent research developments have clarified our understanding of spinal trauma beyond the obvious musculoskeletal aspects of sprain and strain. The rationale of this course is to update the clinician on these important developments within the traditional clinical logic of chiropractic. Overview of Course: Coughing, sneezing, and low frequency vibration will be discussed, along with other sources of cumulative micro-trauma. Following a brief review of the clinical neuroanatomy of the ANS, the impact of spinal trauma on the special senses, the immune system, and the central nervous system will be explored via the basic and clinical science literature. Insights for clinical assessment and ethical patient education will be gleaned from this material. Since 1991, Dr. Masarsky has lectured on the somatovisceral aspects of chiropractic in Europe, Australia, Canada, and fourteen of the United States. With his wife and partner, Marion Todres, D.C., he co-edited the textbook, Somatovisceral Aspects of Chiropractic: An Evidence-Based Approach. They have been in private practice in Vienna, VA (in the Virginia suburbs of Washington, DC) since 1983. Dr. Masarsky's patient education articles are available in his "Evidence-Based Educator" column in Dynamic Chiropractic. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| Description: | NIMMO RECEPTOR TONUS TECHNIQUE - Module 1 JEFFREY H. COHEN, D.C. Nimmo I Class or Seminar The course will provide a comprehensive understanding of the soft tissue technique developed by Dr. Raymond Nimmo. Members of the course will learn about the evolution of trigger points and the importance of soft tissue techniques in the chiropractic profession. Participants will become familiar with the neurophysiology on which the Nimmo technique was based as explained by Nimmo and Vannerson. Participants will also become skilled practitioners of this precise pressure point technique as they will learn to locate, identify, and eliminate myofascial trigger points in all major muscles of the body. The technique will be demonstrated in small increments of regions of the musculoskeletal system. Thereafter participants will practice on each other, under close supervision, as they acquire the complex psychomotor skills necessary to locate and eliminate myofascial trigger points in all areas of the body. |

The upper extremity course includes 108 treatment/diagnosis protocols which include 35 nerve entrapment protocols. The spine course includes 76 treatement/diagnosis protocols which include 20 nerve entrapment protocols. Manual techniques are utilized to move the tissues and joints while under tension. The system allows for relative motion between the tissues and articulations. Evaluation and treatment occur simultaneously. The course emphasizes the manipulation of the neuromusculoskelatal system to diagnose and correct alterations in tissue texture, tension, movement, and function. All treatment protocols are designed to correct these alterations, assist in making articular adjustments easier to accomplish, and to shorten the treatment regimen required to resolve a case. In this way, it follows traditional chiropractic paradigms and methods. Introductory courses are currently being taught in five chiropractic colleges. |
