Dr. Amy Focus

Primitive reflexes are a window into neurodevelopment, so it's a great idea to assess them during your functional brain-based exam. But I see a lot of doctors using this in practice incorrectly. This is the 2nd part of the brain-based exam (see the last video for part 1!), and here's what you SHOULD be doing when you find unintegrated primitive reflexes on your exam.  Remember, including assessments of primitive reflexes, eye movements, and gross motor/fine motor does not take you away from principled Chiropractic. It helps you become more informed about how Chiropractic impacts the ENTIRE individual and the way that people are engaging, learning, and connecting with their world.

Traditions are fun to continue on in our own families, but we need to remember that some of these traditions or rituals might not be appropriate for where our kids are RIGHT NOW. Keep in the back of your mind that increasing processing demand with lots of traditions, tasks, and activities may, in fact, increase stress or create more deflective behaviors. It's OK to create your own traditions that are more appropriate for your family! You might even find you like it better that way! Copyright © 2021 FOCUS Educational Services, LLC.

The reality is if you see kids at all in your practice, with the amount of typically developing kids who are struggling after these last two years, you are seeing kids who need you to know a little more!

Those with ADD/ADHD tend to have a common pattern/presentation when it comes to the visual system. As doctors who work with the function and communication of the nervous system, It's actually really important to be able to assess the part of your nervous system we can see!!! (THE EYES!!!) Here's a way to be more inclusive in our exam to understand (and explain) HOW we are changing the brain. Remember, we don't need to necessarily DO more, but we do need to KNOW more.

Do Chiropractors TREAT ODD? No, absolutely not. So how do we communicate the benefits of Chiropractic in a way that makes sense? Always remember the number 1 rule: Behavior is a window into the brain. They are clues to where we are in brain development. As we move through development, we gain more sophisticated tools. When we have gaps in brain development, we see increases in deflective behavior. We have to see these kids as MORE than their deficits or diagnosis. It is our job to know more, not necessarily do more. Listen to this lesson from Dr. Amy on how to tie this back to Chiropractic so we can be the most trusted advisor and really help these kids.

Don't get stuck in “chasing symptoms” mode. Even if we don't start this way, if a symptom isn't getting better and parents ask why, it's easy to shift back into chasing the symptoms.  We need to be asking and answering the TWO BIG QUESTIONS to make the case for Chiropractic. We need to communicate this clearly and effectively with parents so that they can see the other wins along the way and NOT get set back by the temporary challenges. We teach you how to do this in our Certification Series, which is now OPEN. >>We have 5 SPOTS LEFT at the promo price seats are 33% off!

Are you asking the RIGHT QUESTIONS?! We have to know more about brain developmental hierarchies to understand the 30,000-foot view of what's going on with an individual. Only after that can we appropriately come up with a care plan and goals.  Dr. Amy breaks down how to really ask the right questions to get that complete picture in this video!  Dive even deeper into this topic during our Certification Series, open now! https://gofocusacademy.com/focus-sign-up/ Copyright © 2021 FOCUS Educational Services, LLC.
