Clinical Mastery for the Family Chiropractor
Christopher J. Boman DC, DACCP
A lot can happen in ten years of practice when you’re on a mission to change the world. Dr. Chris will take you behind the scenes of his journey—from opening his first clinic and navigating the challenges of hiring and growth, to expanding into multiple successful locations. He’ll share not only what worked, but also the lessons learned through the tough seasons of entrepreneurship and clinical practice.
In this session, Dr. Chris will do a deep dive into the techniques, systems, and clinical insights that have made him the go-to chiropractor in his community for prenatal, pediatric, and special needs care. You’ll gain powerful communication strategies, hands-on clinical tips that improve outcomes, and tools for protecting your body and passion for the long haul. Dr. Chris is opening up about everything he’s learned to build a thriving, purpose-driven, and life-giving practice—both inside and outside the office.
Pregnancy, Chiropractic, and the Sixth Sense
John Edwards DC, DACCP
This two-hour course examines the neurophysiology of autonomic nervous system regulation during pregnancy through the framework of Polyvagal Theory and Heart Rate Variability (HRV). Participants will review the neurological foundations of neuroception, stress physiology, and vagal function, and explore how chiropractic care may support autonomic regulation in the perinatal patient. Clinical applications include assessment strategies, patient education, and methods for monitoring physiologic adaptability within chiropractic practice.
Chiropractic & Breastfeeding—A Seat at the Table
Lynn M. Gerner DC, FICPA, IBCLC
Why all the fuss about Chiropractic and breastfeeding? In the last 15 years or so, more and more parents and providers are turning to Chiropractors for help with feeding issues. The breastfeeding support specialty in our profession has gained a lot of attention in this arena. Much of this attention is because of current controversy in the medical world regarding “Tethered Oral Tissues” or tongue tie- is it being way over- diagnosed? Is surgical treatment of it really necessary? These questions are very positive for the pediatric Chiropractor as it is truly giving us a seat at the table as a trusted member of the care team. Join Dr. Gerner as she speaks about why this particular scenario is truly an open door for Pediatric Chiropractic and is a pathway for overall credibility and collaboration between allopathic and holistic healthcare.
The Pioneer Spirit and the Future of Family Chiropractic
Stanton Hom DC, DACCP, CCWP
This two-hour course examines evidence-informed approaches to family-centered chiropractic care, including patient communication, pediatric and prenatal assessment, clinical decision-making, and management strategies. Participants will review the evolution of chiropractic practice and apply systematic approaches to evaluating and managing pregnant patients, infants, children, and families.
Protecting the Developing Brain: Supporting Infant Neurological Development in Chiropractic Practice
Stephanie Libs DC, CACCP, IBCLC
This course explores key phases of brain development in the first year of life, the impact of birth and environmental stressors, and the essential role of movement, reflexes, and sensory input. Practitioners will learn to recognize early signs of neurological imbalance, understand feeding and reflex integration as brain-based processes, and identify clinical indicators that may require support—empowering them to better care for infants during this critical window of development.
The Luxury Pelvis: How Balance in Pregnancy Supports Infant Brain Development
Jen Santos DC, DACCP, IBCLC
What if the environment a baby grows in shapes how they experience the world long after birth? In this thought-provoking and clinically applicable presentation, Dr. Jen Santos explores the concept of the “Luxury Pelvis”, a pelvis with optimal balance, motion, and neurological ease, and how maternal biomechanics, neurochemistry, fascia, and sensory experience influence the developing infant brain in utero. Blending neuroscience, prenatal chiropractic, neuropeptides, autonomic regulation, and real-world clinical insight, this class examines how the baby’s first environment helps shape nervous system development, regulation, movement patterns, and life outside the womb. This is far more than pregnancy mechanics. It’s about how humans are wired from the very beginning.
Supporting Neurological Organization: Primitive Reflexes and Chiropractic Care
Linda Slak DC, CACCP, CABCDD
This two-hour course examines the role of primitive reflexes in pediatric neurological development and their relevance to chiropractic practice. Participants will review the neurophysiology of primitive reflexes, normal developmental milestones, and the relationship between retained primitive reflexes, posture, movement, and motor development. The course includes demonstrations of primitive reflex assessment procedures and introduces developmentally appropriate rehabilitative movement strategies intended to support motor development and neurological organization in pediatric chiropractic patients. Clinical management considerations, patient education strategies, and interdisciplinary referral considerations will also be discussed.
