The Pig in the Python
Dr. Karen Konarski-Hart (5 CE hours)

DCs are now fighting for payment for full scope under Medicare. BUT, what if we acquired that tomorrow?
There is a shortage of healthcare personnel at all levels and patients are waiting weeks or months for appointments. Many DCs are already answering questions from Medicare patients beyond “subluxation” concerns. Any increase in Medicare coverage for Chiropractic Physicians, even for examinations, is likely to open a floodgate of new patients. Are YOU ready?
Dr Brian Jensen was introduced to Chiropractic at age 15 when he received treatment for sports injuries. Based on the success of that treatment, he chose to attend Palmer Chiropractic College where he graduated in 1987. Dr Jensen's personal experience with Chiropractic care has led him over the past 30 years to develop strategies for staying healthy, not merely addressing temporary aches and pains. "Staying healthy is a proactive process, doing the right things as part of a healthy life style. " With that in mind, Dr Jensen has incorporated a combination of the latest technological advances with simple, common sense tools that assist patients in achieving and maintaining their health goals.
Dr. Jensen served as the Associate Director of Education and Research at Foot Levelers Inc., between 2006 and 2010 and is currently in full time practice in Roanoke VA. He has shared his experience in continuing education seminars over the past 15 years in the US and abroad.
