Why does a joint fail to move the way it should? While mechanical contributors such as degeneration are well recognized, the neurological mechanisms that limit spinal motion are often under-appreciated.
In this webinar, we will explore reduced joint motion through a clinical neurological lens: how spinal reflexes, posture, balance, ocular function, psychological stress and more influence mobility. By understanding these mechanisms, clinicians can refine their neurological examinations, interpret patient presentations more accurately, and tailor interventions for greater therapeutic impact. If time allows, we will also review before-and-after case studies to illustrate these principles in practice.
Dr. Patrick Freud holds a Bachelor of Science degree (High Honors) in Anatomy and Psychology from McGill University and a Doctor of Chiropractic degree (Highest Honors) from Parker University in Dallas, Texas. In 2007, Dr. Freud obtained Diplomate status from the American Chiropractic Neurology Board (ACNB) and became one of the first Canadian chiropractors to have this certification. He has also been an examiner for the ACNB and has helped establish Chiropractic Neurology educational programs through the Carrick Institute in Calgary, Toronto, and Montreal. In addition to being in private practice since 1996 (https://www.cliniquefreud.ca/), Dr. Freud has been an Adjunct Professor of Anatomy for McGill University’s Faculty of Medicine since 1999 for 1st year medical students, 4th year incoming surgical residents and practicing orthopedic residents. He has been lecturing internationally on neurology applications for general chiropractic practice, neurodevelopment disorders, dizziness, movement disorders and concussions through Adjusting the Brain seminars (https://adjustingthebrain.com/) since 2010.
