We’ve all heard that chiropractic care should be delivered within a biopsychosocial (BPS) model—but what does that really look like in practice? 

In this informative and engaging session, you’ll explore the contemporary BPS model and discover how to seamlessly integrate these principles into your everyday patient care—without overhauling your workflow.

Learn how to make evidence-based, patient-centered decisions that improve outcomes, especially in chronic pain cases and complex presentations, and understand when to collaborate with mental health professionals for truly comprehensive care.

At the end of this session, participants will be able to:

  1. Outline actionable components of the biopsychosocial (BPS) approach
  2. Apply evidence-based BPS strategies for the chiropractic management of chronic pain and other conditions.
  3. Empower chiropractors to recognize the need for, and facilitate, collaboration with a mental health professional when it is in a patient’s best interest.
