ACADEMIC PROGRAMME


"PANORAMA OF CHIROPRACTIC TECHNIQUES"

The Demetra Lecture Room

INTRODUCTION
C
hiropractic as a profession has many special characteristics, most important of which is the variety of its treatment techniques!

Over the years, chiropractic has preserved its ‘traditional' high velocity low amplitude manipulative techniques, while at the same time it has managed to modify, enrich and improve them to a great extent or even go beyond manipulation. Through the exchange of information and knowledge with other disciplines, it has absorbed other techniques, as well as developed new revolutionary and unique ones.

Today, the range of techniques available to the practicing Chiropractors is very broad, enabling them to choose the best to suit them as practitioners, according to the needs of their patients. Some of the techniques are well documented and evidence based, yet others, although widely used, are still considered controversial.

This convention will present many chiropractic techniques, both ‘mainstream' and ‘controversial', giving their instructors and developers a forum of inter-exchange of ideas and experiences, by presenting all up-to-date research and clinical evaluation of their technique, and participants the possibility to see and learn new techniques, revise the used ones, and compare their efficacy and usefulness in their practice.
