During this presentation, you will see the correlation between stress and adrenal disorders as well as neurotransmitter dysfunction that commonly leads us down a path of chronic pain, difficulty in recovery, and mental challenges. With the increase in opioid prescriptions, it is now more important than ever for chiropractic physicians to have the tools necessary to combat this crisis. The ability to utilize nutrition and supplementation as well as lifestyle changes can strongly impact outcomes for patients in a way that is healthier and more permanent without the potential for addictive substances. Understanding the causes for adrenal and neurotransmitter imbalance as well as eliminating triggers will be presented with simple concepts to implement into practice.
This session is sponsored by Protocol for Life Balance.
