Lyme Disease Clinical Essentials

This continuing education experience aims to bring clarity to Lyme disease, one of today’s most complex and misunderstood conditions. Through a blend of research review, clinical reasoning, and practical application, attendees will gain the skills needed to better recognize, assess, and support patients affected by Lyme disease and related co-infections.

Across two immersive days, participants will explore the pathophysiology of Borrelia species, immune system dynamics, and the wide spectrum of neurological, musculoskeletal, and systemic presentations that often challenge clinicians. The course will cover how to differentiate testing methodologies, interpret laboratory findings within a clinical context, and evaluate current research with a critical, evidence-based lens.

Designed for chiropractors seeking a clear, clinically relevant understanding of Lyme disease as it presents in everyday practice, this course provides a structured overview of recognition, patient communication, risk awareness, and appropriate co-management considerations. Emphasis is placed on supporting patients within chiropractic scope and in interdisciplinary healthcare environments.

Whether practitioners work independently or in conjunction with other healthcare professionals, this course offers practical insight to enhance clinical confidence, informed referrals, and patient-centered care in a condition that frequently overlaps with musculoskeletal and neurological complaints.
