Description
Many times we use manual skills to treat pain. That is only a portion of the issue. Pain sensation enters the nervous system and is recorded accurately mixed with emotions. This serves to send pain information all over the nervous system. The tissue may be healed, even though the patient is still complaining of pain experiences. This course will teach attendees to look farther into the nervous system and learn how to treat effectively, efficiently while growing your practice.
