COME LEARN HOW THE INTEGRATION OF CHIROPRACTIC AND MASSAGE CAN LEAD TO POSITIVE THERAPEUTIC OUTCOMES! This workshop will use the combined expertise of chiropractic and massage therapy to explore, evaluate, and treat a variety of common difficult shoulder girdle & shoulder joint conditions. Dr. West will lecture on the skeletal and neurological anatomy of the neck, shoulder girdle & shoulder joint, specific etiologies, signs, symptoms and chiropractic treatments; including, demonstrations of hands-on evaluation techniques designed to assess the pathologies of this troubled region. Nancy will provide a thorough understanding of the muscular anatomy of the shoulder girdle & shoulder joint, trigger points, and referred pain patterns. Nancy will demonstrate techniques used in Dimensional Massage (techniques using deep tissue strokes and methods designed to balance joints by working on all the muscles that produce, assist in, or oppose the actions of , or stabilize the joint).
