About this event
The 2026 Annual Convention Arizona is a comprehensive continuing education event for doctors of chiropractic and chiropractic assistants. The convention runs Friday through Sunday, with Saturday and Sunday sessions totaling 32 clock hours of CE instruction. Attendees will experience a diverse curriculum covering clinical topics such as headache and migraine management, regenerative medicine (PRP and stem cell therapy), cervical instability, geriatric care, shockwave therapy, dry needling, and mental health integration, alongside practice management and documentation courses.
The event features multiple concurrent tracks designed for different audiences: DC-focused clinical and business courses, CA-specific training on insurance verification, billing, and Medicare compliance, and specialized sessions on personal injury case management led by a multidisciplinary panel. Instructors include board-certified specialists, diplomates in chiropractic neurology, and experienced practice consultants.
The convention emphasizes evidence-based care, proper documentation, and staying current with industry changes—including how AI software has transformed insurance claim practices. An evening reception and party follows Saturday classes, providing networking opportunities. The event is structured to help practitioners improve patient outcomes, strengthen their practices, and maintain compliance with Arizona's continuing education requirements.
