Foundations for Successful Collections: Data Gathering
Summit 206

Team members are often surprised that the most important element in solid cash flow is the first step: Data Gathering. Missteps in this part of the process cause denials, lost time, and lost revenue. Ensuring that the right information is captured and managed correctly increases the odds of prompt payment to close to 95%.  

Join us for a transformative hour that will revolutionize your practice’s compliant financial processes, whether you operate on a cash-based model or engage in 3rd party billing. Just as a tall building requires a strong and deep foundation, your practice’s success relies on a solid financial framework.

Why Connected Thinkers will Rule the Future
Main Stage

We’ve lived in times ruled by lawyers, doctors, and bankers. We’ve moved onto a time ruled by coders, engineers, analysts, and mathematicians for the Internet. The challenge that faces individuals today is to be a connected thinker. People who can bring mindfulness together with modern psychology trending technology and use it for social impact will see limitless possibilities where others do not. Steve Jobs made calligraphy relevant to computers. Mark Zuckerberg visited an ashram in India to reinforce the importance of what he and his company were trying to do. They see what others can’t see. They perceive the invisible connections. Because it’s what you don’t see that makes what you see today possible. 

The best innovators expose themselves to a broad set of human experiences, experiences that kick-start the creative process. The key to thinking differently is perceiving things differently. You must be exposed to divergent ideas, places, and people to perceive things differently. This forces your brain to make connections it otherwise might miss. 

This session reveals how we can tap into our creativity and innovation through behavioral science to create more powerful futures. Jay will share case studies, stories, and exercises that will enable session participants to learn more about themselves and how to begin the creative process. 

Jay’s interactive approach introduces at least three exercises to help attendees to become more creative and innovative –identifying the top skills needed to thrive in 2020 –as recognized by the World Economic Forum. This session will achieve the following: 

  • Understanding the four mindsets for being a leader of the future;
  • Greater collaboration between team members;
  • Enhance creative thinking amongst groups and teams;
  • Equip individuals with the tools and techniques needed to think more forward.

Chiropractic Care and the Default Mode Network
Forum 130

Dr. Heidi Haavik, a chiropractor and Ph.D. trained neurophysiologist, is one of the most popular chiropractic speakers in the world today. She is the Vice President of Research at the New Zealand College of Chiropractic and is best known for her ground-breaking research on the impact of chiropractic adjustments of vertebral subluxations on the brain and central nervous system. What is becoming clear from scientific studies is that spinal dysfunction negatively impacts brain function. Dr. Haavik will explain the contemporary brain model of the vertebral subluxation (according to published research articles). She has a gift for explaining this complex neuroscience research in easy-to-understand language. She will explain the latest scientific understanding about how chiropractic high-velocity, low-amplitude (HVLA) adjustments can reverse maladaptive brain changes that occur over time when spinal dysfunction is present. The latest research is showing that a particular group of brain regions, together called the Default Mode Network change their conversations over four weeks, and these brain changes correlate with positive clinical outcomes such as reduced pain, improved mood (reduced anxiety and depression) and better quality of life! Dr. Haavik will explain how to implement this latest contemporary understanding of brain model into your practice. The complex neurophysiology will be presented in an easy to understand and clinically practical manner for students, CAs and DCs.

Assessing and Bulletproofing High-Performance Shoulders
Forum 105

Chiropractors who can effectively treat shoulders will be famous in their community. Many people are struggling with shoulder injuries, yet many medical providers do not take a systematic approach to fixing the underlying issue, and instead address just the symptoms. Chiropractors have a unique skill set and a unique ability to be heroes in this situation by addressing the symptoms along with underlying pathology. Since many chiropractors are also involved in high-performance treatment and rehab, a skilled chiropractor can play an outstanding role in assessing and treating the most common shoulder conditions. No other profession has the knowledge, skills, and abilities that modern chiropractors do to address these issues. This course will lead to a deeper understanding of the structures of the shoulder, how to measure them, and how to judge their function and patency as the first step in becoming the leader in your community for shoulder conditions.

Forever Strong: The Keys to Health and Longevity
Main Stage

Everything we have thought about health and wellness is wrong. We care about health span, but we need to focus on muscle span. After years of watching patients cycle through her practice, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon noticed a pattern. While her patients struggled with a wide range of conditions, they all suffered from the same core problem: they had too little muscle rather than too much fat. When we think about muscle, we tend to think about strength or aesthetics, but in reality, muscle accounts for so much more than that.

In this talk, Dr. Lyon will teach you all about Muscle-Centric Medicine® and the powerful new approach to becoming Forever Strong: 

  • Learn how to reboot your metabolism, build strength, and extend your life (and quality of it)
  • Discover how to overcome everything from obesity to autoimmune disorders and avoid diseases like Alzheimer’s, hypertension, and diabetes
  • Learn about easy-to-follow food, fitness, and self-care programs anchored in evidence and pioneering research —no matter your age or health background.
