Healthy Brains & Boring Births: What Perinatal Certified Chiros Know that No One Else Does
“If your back doesn’t hurt during pregnancy, why do you need a chiropractor?”
Back pain isn’t the most common condition of the perinatal period — mood disorders are. And mood disorders are a nervous system problem, not a mood problem.
Part one teaches a cortical screening protocol through the lens of Polyvagal Theory: a fast way to read whether your patient’s nervous system is stuck in fight/flight, shutdown, or safely engaged - and why that matters more than her MSK exam.
Part two puts it to work, with practice and live demonstration of the Edwards Umbilicus-Trochanter Angle, a simple reliable measurement that can help guide your clinical care.
John “Doc” Edwards, DC, DACCP was once described as “Dan Murphy with tattoos.” His quest is to help perinatal chiropractors cut decades off the process of clinical mastery. Doc designs and implements clinical research for the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association and has taught a legendary course on brain based perinatal chiropractic since 2017. He nerds out on the topics of spirituality, intuition, and neurology. His children would tell you that’s code for “Star Wars.”
This year, The Kids Summit presents a series of captivating topics designed to elevate care for children and families. Highlights include presentations on pre-conception care, infant assessments, polyvagal tone, and nurturing the consciousness of childhood.
We’re also excited to bring back the popular Kids Summit Workshop, offering a unique hands-on experience to learn practical skills directly from our esteemed speakers. Join us for an inspiring and informative event—reserve your spot today!
