Course Information: 

In-Person Lecture 

2 Credit Hours 

Summary: This continuing education seminar will explore the role of pain management from the perspectives of allopathic and holistic approaches. We will review, briefly, how pain is interpreted by the CNS and how the allopathic world has been evolving with its utilization of medications due to the opioid epidemic, and how this has tied in to the holistic approach of health care.

February 7, 2026 -  Neuroimaging in the Ambulatory Chiropractic Setting: What You’re Missing - Trevor Foshang, DC, DACBR 

Course Information:  

In-Person Lecture 

2 Credit Hours 

Summary: This advanced continuing education course explores the underrecognized but critical role of neuroimaging in ambulatory chiropractic practice. Focusing on conditions that extend beyond typical musculoskeletal complaints, the lecture walks participants through the interpretation of radiographic and advanced neuroimaging studies in patients presenting with neurological symptoms. Topics include upper cervical and brainstem anomalies (such as Chiari malformations and syringomyelia), post-concussive imaging challenges, cauda equina syndrome, and peripheral nerve entrapments, and much more. Designed to strengthen clinical decision-making, the course integrates patient cases, guided image interpretation, and interactive polls. Participants will gain tools for recognizing red flags, knowing when to refer, and correlating imaging findings with clinical presentations. This session is especially valuable for chiropractors aiming to enhance their diagnostic acumen and interdisciplinary communication in managing neurologically complex patients.  

Learning Objectives 

• Recognize critical neuroimaging findings associated with high-risk neurological conditions commonly encountered in ambulatory chiropractic practice.  
• Correlate patient neurological symptoms with imaging findings to improve diagnostic accuracy and determine appropriate management or referral pathways.  
• Apply a structured approach to image interpretation using case-based learning and red flag checklists to support clinical decision-making and reduce the risk of missed diagnoses.
