From Misalignment to Dysfunction: How Subluxations Affect Nerves, Vessels, and Your Patients According to Research


Evan Katz, DC Saturday: 1:00-2:30pm


General Session Room


Join Dr. Evan Katz as we dive into the often-overlooked world of spinal pathologies and subluxations—and their profound impact on the spinal cord and vascular system. Dr. Katz will be sharing research-backed insights, including studies he has personally published, that reveal how these structural issues contribute to pain, dysfunction, and long-term health consequences, especially in post-trauma cases like car collisions. This presentation will not only give you a deeper understanding of the spine-neurovascular connection, but will also show you how to effectively translate this knowledge into patient education and bulletproof documentation. Learn how to make it clear—


clinically and legally—why spinal subluxations matter, why your care is essential, and why you deserve full compensation for your expertise.

Professional Boundaries in the Chiropractic Office


Mario Fucinari, DC, CPCO, CPPM, CIC Saturday: 1:00-2:30pm


Breakout Room


We will explore professional and sexual issues in the chiropractic office. Recent events have heightened an acute awareness of the potential for a physician’s actions to compromise the physician-patient relationship. The chiropractic practice is unique because it frequently involves physical contact with patients of all ages. A chiropractic office’s unique circumstances may lead to situations that challenge legal, practical, and cultural differences between the doctor, staff, and patient. Ethical principles and models for decision-making that are most applicable in the healthcare profession will be discussed.
