Agenda

Session Description

• Focus on how autonomic dysregulation affects methylation biochemistry and sensory-motor development and the global effects on health and development. The phylogenic development of the vagus nerve and its implications in the chiropractic-gut-brain-immune-sensory axis will also be discussed in this hour. The impact on vagal tone due to spinal biomechanical dysfunction from various stressor/traumas will be addressed. Chiropractic considerations and management for optimal vagal tone will also be part of this hour. Also, how vagal tone integrity fits in and how chiropractic care will benefit.
• Cover methylation biochemistry and its profound effects on health and DNA expression: from chronic health issues to neurodevelopmental disorders. Management from a chiropractic and neuronutritional aspect will be addressed.
• Methylation biochemistry and its profound effects on health and DNA expression: from chronic health issues to neurodevelopmental disorders. Management from a chiropractic and neuronutritional aspect will be addressed.
• Introduction into sensory-motor function in the context of neurodevelopment, TBI, whiplash, concussion and chronic infectious loads will be the focus of this hour.
• Assessment and management of the vestibular system will be discussed. Chiropractic management via specific spinal adjustments, neurointegrative exercise protocols and neuronutritional protocols will be given. Also, being aware of negative vestibular affects and how to combat them will be addressed.
• Assessment and management of the proprioceptive system will be discussed. Chiropractic management via specific spinal adjustments, neurointegrative exercise protocols and neuronutritional protocols will be given.
• Assessment and management of the visual system as well as the visual-vestibular-cervical triad will be discussed. Chiropractic management via specific spinal adjustments, neurointegrative exercise protocols and neuronutritional protocols will be given.

Speaker

Dr. Monika Buerger, BA, DC

Dr. Buerger graduated from Life Chiropractic College-West in 1991. She also has an undergraduate degree in Exercise Physiology from California State University, Fresno. She has enjoyed extensive post graduate training in the areas of neurodevelopment, functional neurology, neuronutrition and functional medicine. She currently has a private family practice in Ammon, Idaho that is dedicated to serving those with neurodevelopmental challenges, neurodegenerative disorders and chronic health issues. She is the pioneer in the chiropractic profession when it comes to working with children that have Neurosensory and Neurodevelopmental Disorders.

She is a contributing author to the text book Pediatric Chiropractic, Volume I and Volume II with chapters on Pediatric History and Physical Exam, Neurodevelopmental Disorders and Sensory Processing Disorder. She has been lecturing nationally and internationally for over 15 years and is the founder of the Intersect4Life mentoring and on-line Learning Academy with various CE classes focusing on functional neurology, neurodevelopment, methylation biochemistry and functional nutrition.

Her new exciting adventure is her upcoming developingMINDS certification and CE program coming in 2019!
