Description
Most of our referrals have pain and inflammation as presenting symptoms. This contributes to increased recovery time and decreased functional ability. Whether pain and inflammation appear localized or systemic, they have “causes”. Growing evidence is pointing to co-infections as a source of chronicity and failed response to standard treatment protocols. Discover how to identify and intervene against these culprits that serve as a hidden barrier to success in your treatment outcomes. You will be able to confidently identify hidden causes of pain and inflammation as well as design a plan of care that addresses pain, decreased mobility, edema and dietary conditions.
