Postural Neurology: A Neurologic Approach to Postural Correction for Chiropractic Practice
Dr. Krista BurnsFri 8:00 AM - 9:30 AMGreat Plains
Dr. Krista Burns Postural Neurology is an evidence-based and neurologic approach to postural correction. Recent research from the American Journal of Epidemiology and Public Health (2021) shows that more than 70% of school aged children present with moderate to severe forward head posture. The purpose of this session is to demonstrate the public health need for postural correction, and to show chiropractors practical solutions for postural correction that are neurologic and evidence-based.
Participants will learn the neurology of the posture system including the role of the visual system for head posture and orientation, the role of the vestibular system for postural
stability, and the role of the sensory and motor cortex for sensorimotor integration. Participants will discover a comprehensive research review of how postural distortion patterns impact neurologic function. For clinical application, they will learn brain based posture assessments and correction protocols to detect, analyze, and correct postural distortion patterns.
Dr. Krista Burns is the cofounder of The American Posture Institute. Having been disappointed with the quality & accessibility of the current posture education, Dr. Krista set out to revolutionize an old system. Focused on evidence-based practices, she and her cofounder started first with increasing their knowledge and now have a combined four doctorates and 50-plus certifications in posture, neurology, ergonomics, and human function.
Dr. Krista is considered the most “Certified Posture Expert” on the planet. She has an intense quest for knowledge that never stops and she has helped thousands of healthcare professionals in every industry, in more than 50 countries worldwide, become posture experts.
