Dr Heidi Haavik: Chiropractor, Researcher and Author of 'Reality Check', - 15th December 201526/11/2015
Dr Heidi Haavik is coming to McTimoney College of Chiropractic, Abingdon
Tuesday 15th December 2015 Session One: The Science of the Subluxation 1 - 4pm £15 This session will cover, in a fun and entertaining way, the latest scientific understanding about the function of the spine and its impact on brain function. The complex neurophysiology will be presented in an easy to understand and clinically practical manner for students and DCs, with a particular focus on what this research tells us about the impact of the vertebral subluxation on CNS function. Dr Haavik will discuss why it’s important that our chiropractic students learn about this new understanding. Heidi will also discuss why it is so vital that our chiropractic-relevant clinical researchers take note of these basic science findings. Heidi will translate for you a variety of very relevant studies (covering both clinical and basic science research, and the difference between them). Session Two: How to Communicate the Science of Chiropractic 6 - 9pm £15 This session will focus on the clinical manifestations of vertebral subluxations and the science behind this. Dr Heidi Haavik will take a closer look at some of the basics of scientific investigation and translate the relevant neurophysiological studies as well as some important clinical studies and will highlight what it means for our patients. Dr Haavik will also discuss what we now know about the actual mechanisms of the adjustment (how adjusting subluxations actually improves CNS function). The research tells a story that is similar to the old historic theories, but with a subtle – and very important – twist to it. Dr Heidi Haavik will clarify what we as chiropractors can and cannot claim to help you thrive in an evidence informed world. Heidi will translate for you a variety of very relevant studies (covering both clinical and basic science research, and the difference between them). Or both sessions £25
