At Hawaii 1991 you will be presented a rare opportunity to develop and refine your motion palpation skills. A palpation tutorial is being offered that will sharpen and fine-tune your existing movement palpation abilities.
The tutorial is predominately for doctors who use motion palpation consistently in their practice and who have a special interest in refining their motion palpation art. Doctors will become better able to determine the clinical significance of what they are feeling and sometimes more importantly the total "lack" of clinical significance.
After graduating from Palmer College East in 1977, the instructor, Dr. Dale Jacobson, was personally tutored for a four-month period by Dr. Henri Gillet in Brussels, Belgium, and was subsequently certified as an instructor and interpreter of the Gillet Motion Palpation System.
After returning from Belgium and meeting Dr. L. John Faye, Dr. Jacobson was chosen to be the first West Coast MPI instructor. He taught the spine, extremity, and manipulation seminars. He brings us these special skills as well as his personal experience of 13 years in a motion palpation practice.

When sports chiropractors first appeared at the Olympic Games in the 1980s, it was alongside individual athletes who had experienced the benefits of chiropractic care in their training and recovery processes at home.

It is estimated that 61% of patients with CTS avoid taking surgical options due to postoperative complications and costly surgical procedures.

Recent studies also have unveiled a game-changing adjunct to chiropractic treatments for CTS: nerve flossing.
Some doctors thrive in a personality-based clinic and have a loyal following no matter what services or equipment they offer, but for most chiropractic offices who are trying to grow and expand, new equipment purchases help us stay relevant and continue to service our client base in the best, most up-to-date manner possible. So, regarding equipment purchasing: should you lease, get a bank loan, or pay cash?
