109th KAC Annual Convention | Dr. Kevin Wong - Mastering the Feet, Ankles, Shoulders and Ribs the Wong Way

This course is designed to teach Chiropractors evaluation and adjusting techniques for specific regions of the lower extremities. To this end, a discussion of anatomy, common clinical conditions, and discernable patterns of subluxation in the lower and upper extremities spans 4 hours. Starting at the feet, the class works its way up through the lower extremity and up to the pelvis. The importance of the feet for whole-body stability is one of the core concepts of the class. When the arches of the feet have problems being too flat or too high, the body undergoes stress patterns, and a multitude of clinical ailments throughout the body may result.This class teaches the student how to analyze the patient, look for subluxation patterns, treat them, and help their patients with home and lifestyle care. It involves hands-on examination/evaluation, modeling adjusting techniques, usage of physiotherapy modalities (i.e. cold laser, etc.), elastic taping protocols, and exercise procedures for all appropriate regions of the body. We also cover the usage of ancillary products (custom orthotics, braces, supports, etc.) that are helpful for our patients and our practice.

• •Evaluate and assess feet, ankles, shoulders, and ribs using systematic examination techniques to identify subluxation patterns and biomechanical dysfunction
• •Master adjusting and manipulation techniques specific to the lower extremities, pelvis, shoulders, and rib cage
• •Understand the anatomical and functional relationship between foot mechanics and whole-body stability, including how arch dysfunction contributes to systemic clinical conditions
• •Identify and treat common clinical conditions affecting the feet, ankles, shoulders, and ribs using evidence-based chiropractic protocols
• •Apply physiotherapy modalities (including cold laser therapy) and elastic taping protocols to enhance treatment outcomes
