Bone Health and the Chiropractic Patient: Assessment to Management
What influence we can have on bone health depends on our knowledge of bones as living, dynamic structures? There are definite consequences of the impact of gravity on our bones that we must realize and modify if we don’t like the effects on our bones. This class will review the osteo anatomy and will grow our knowledge to better communicate how to optimize bone health.

The harm of x-rays is a pervasive fear in our culture. Dispelling that fear with the facts of the health benefits of x-rays taken in the chiropractic office is a giant focus of this class. Research data confirms that x-rays taken improve our expression of immunity.
