TESTIMONIALS...
- I have been in practice for 18 years and this is the first time I have encountered the neurology of chiropractic presented in such an organized, easy-to-understand, relevant, and practical way. I wish I had learned this in chiropractic college! This course is relevant to every chiropractor, no matter which end of the political/philosophical divide they may fall on, and I truly believe Dr. Freud has the potential to unite our profession by helping us all understand how we can serve our patients to the best of our abilities.
- In one word: Essential.
- Likely the best presentation/seminar I have been to. Educates, instructs and inspires.
- It’s a long time since I have been to a seminar so engaging that united the philosophy of chiropractic and the science behind it. A must to all chiropractors young and old, or new or experienced.
