Nutrition - The Effects of Obesity and Metabolism on Musculoskeletal Conditions in the 21st Century
In this course you will learn how obesity trends and metabolic changes affect the musculoskeletal system. All covered information is supported by the current scientific literature with references throughout. You will review the underlying mechanisms of obesity and metabolic disorders/abnormalities which may signal the need for nutritional therapy as an adjunct to your chiropractic and rehab protocols. You will learn appropriate examination procedures and history taking to identify possible nutritional needs as well as metabolic conditions that require referral to other medical professionals. Dr. Webster will review samples of clinical protocols using lab analysis and nutritional and lifestyle modifications which could be utilized to positively affect the outcomes of your chiropractic patients.
