Mastering the Disc, Dr. Lesch examines the mechanical properties of the disc and how the disc is the predominant cause of pain in neck and back conditions. Attendees will learn how to definitively diagnose and treat the source of neck and back pain through the use of end range loading strategies and other evidence-based guidelines such as directional preference, centralization, obstruction to extension, and more. Doctors will be taught simple, yet highly effective, disc-bulge reducing exercises and mobilizations that will help both them and their patients. Dr. Lesch will then apply these same straightforward principles to HEADACHES as well. Learn how to quickly determine if a patient’s headaches are cervicogenic in nature and how to move forward with a proven treatment strategy. The material presented in this seminar helps the busy chiropractor get right to the root of the patient’s problem and in a way that patients can easily understand. Upon completion of this course, doctors will have a new set of diagnostic and treatment skills that can be applied Monday morning with an expectation for immediate and dramatic results with every new patient.
