Neurology Behind The Functional Short Leg: Contributions From Visual, Vestibular, and Proprioceptive Systems That You Never Thought AboutCOURSE DESCRIPTION
From a classical perspective, the functional short leg has been considered a problem secondary to the posterior rotation of the ilium, with the most common treatment simply being adjusting the ilium to reduce its posterior rotation. This often shows immediate results, reducing the discrepancy between leg lengths. However, as most chiropractors experience, the results are often short-lived as the posteriorly rotated ilium persists despite the adjustive intervention. The question is, why? To answer this question, it is important to understand how the Visual, Vestibular, and Proprioceptive systems contribute to maintaining the body’s alignment in the frontal plane. To accomplish this, a model will be presented at the seminar to help you triangulate where to what system to focus your treatment on and one that is easily implemented in your practice immediately following the seminar.
SPEAKERS' BIO:
Dr. Klotzek graduated from Logan University, receiving his Doctor of Chiropractic Degree. Having a keen interest in neurology, Dr. Klotzek furthered his educational interests by obtaining specialty designations in Chiropractic and Functional Neurology, as granted by the American Chiropractic Neurology Board and The American College of Functional Neurology. He recently received his Master of Science in Clinical Neuroscience from the Carrick Institute for Clinical Neuroscience & Rehabilitation. Dr. Klotzek is an accomplished clinician and educator. His clinical and educational careers have spanned over 35 years, focusing on the constant drive for better patient outcomes through understanding and applying neurology. Dr. Klotzek has been a Professor of Neurology at the Carrick Institute for Clinical Neuroscience & Rehabilitation. His main focuses are on educational content development in neurology and his research on measuring the central neurological effects of spinal manipulation by quantifying eye movements. He hopes his research will provide better insights into spinal manipulation’s central effects, thus expanding its therapeutic use beyond pain management.
