SUMMARY:Preventing Falls in Older Adults: Evidence-Based Chiropractic Strategies
DESCRIPTION:Details: \nLength: 1 hour (structured CE credit*) \nThis webinar will be at 12 noon Eastern Standard Time (EST) and a recording will be made available to those who cannot attend the live presentation. \n*Notes:  \nAlberta: This webinar has not been submitted for approval by the CCOA (a bundle of webinars will be made available for the next cycle). \nOntario: This webinar provides 1 structured CE hour \nDescription \nOverview \nFalls are a significant cause of injury\, disability\, and loss of independence among older adults. Identifying individuals at risk and implementing effective prevention strategies are critical components of safe\, patient-centered care. Chiropractors frequently encounter older patients with balance deficits\, musculoskeletal impairments\, and functional limitations that increase fall risk\, positioning them to play an important role in early identification and prevention. \nThis 1-hour webinar with Dr. Shawn Thistle provides an evidence-informed\, clinically practical framework for fall risk identification and prevention in older adults. Through focused discussion of screening tools\, functional assessment\, and clinical decision-making\, participants will gain actionable strategies to reduce fall risk and improve patient safety in everyday practice. \nBy the end of this session\, you will be able to: \n\nIdentify key clinical risk factors for falls in older adults\nApply simple\, evidence-based screening and assessment tools in chiropractic practice to support appropriate management \nImplement appropriate chiropractic and rehabilitative interventions to support balance and function\nRecognize when fall risk warrants referral or modification of care\n\nWho should attend? \nThis webinar is intended for chiropractors in private practice\, group clinics\, and multidisciplinary settings who care for older adults or patients with balance concerns\, mobility limitations\, or functional decline. It is particularly relevant for clinicians seeking to enhance patient safety\, reduce injury risk\, and integrate fall prevention strategies into routine chiropractic care. \nWhy attend? \nFalls are common\, often preventable\, and associated with substantial morbidity and healthcare utilization in older adults. Chiropractors who understand fall risk factors and apply evidence-based prevention strategies can play a meaningful role in maintaining mobility\, independence\, and quality of life for aging patients. This webinar provides practical\, clinically relevant tools to support safer care\, informed decision-making\, and effective collaboration within broader healthcare teams.

SUMMARY:Unlocking Chronic Pain: Adapting Care When Patients Stall
DESCRIPTION:Details:\nLength: 1 hour (structured CE credit*) \nThis webinar will be at 12 noon Eastern Standard Time (EST) and a recording will be made available to those who cannot attend the live presentation. \n*Notes: \nAlberta: This webinar has not been submitted for approval by the CCOA (a bundle of webinars will be made available for the next cycle). \nOntario: This webinar provides 1 structured CE hour \nDescription \nJoin Dr. Thistle and “The Chronic Pain Chiro” Dr. Demetry Assimakopoulos for this enlightening 1-hour discussion featuring case examples and clinical strategies you can use to unlock new benefits for chronic pain patients who have stalled under care. \nOverview \nChronic pain remains one of the most common and challenging presentations in chiropractic practice. While many patients respond well to care\, a subset fail to progress as expected\, creating clinical uncertainty for practitioners and frustration for both patient and provider. These scenarios require more than persistence with the same approach—they demand thoughtful reassessment\, clinical flexibility\, and evidence-informed adaptation. \nThis 1-hour webinar with Dr. Shawn Thistle and Dr. Demetry Assimakopoulos provides a practical framework for managing chronic pain patients who are not improving under chiropractic care. Through focused discussion of clinical reasoning\, pain mechanisms\, psychosocial influences\, and care adaptation strategies\, participants will gain actionable tools to reassess\, modify\, and optimize patient management. Emphasis will be placed on improving outcomes while maintaining patient safety\, appropriate expectations\, and professional confidence. \nBy the end of this session\, you will be able to: \n* Recognize common reasons why chronic pain patients fail to progress under care\n* Apply a structured approach to reassessing patients with persistent pain\n* Identify the role of central sensitization\, psychosocial factors\, and maladaptive beliefs in ongoing pain\n* Adapt chiropractic management strategies\, including manual therapy\, exercise\, and patient education\n* Recognize when modification of care\, co-management\, or referral is appropriate \nWho should attend? \nThis webinar is intended for chiropractors in private practice\, group clinics\, and multidisciplinary settings who manage patients with chronic or persistent pain. It is particularly relevant for clinicians seeking to improve outcomes in complex cases\, enhance clinical reasoning\, and develop more flexible\, patient-centered approaches to care. \nWhy attend? \nChronic pain patients who do not respond as expected can be among the most challenging cases in clinical practice. Without a structured approach to reassessment and care adaptation\, clinicians may default to ineffective strategies or experience uncertainty in decision-making. Chiropractors who develop skills in recognizing pain complexity and adjusting care accordingly can improve patient outcomes\, strengthen therapeutic relationships\, and enhance professional satisfaction. This webinar provides practical\, evidence-based strategies to help clinicians move beyond treatment plateaus and deliver more effective\, individualized care. \nAbout Dr. Demetry Assimakopoulos: \n \nDr. Demetry is truly the “Chronic Pain Chiro”\, specializing in evidence-based\, real-world chronic pain management. He has been featured in two E-Seminars programs produced by Dr. Thistle: \n1. All Aboard the Pain Train: A Chiropractor’s Guide to Chronic Pain (10 hours)\n2. Mastering the Biopsychosocial Approach: A Contemporary Lens for Chiropractors (4 hours)
