The topic for the evening will be “Nourish to Flourish: A Nutritionally-Informed approach to Musculoskeletal-related Pain” Catch up with local colleagues, and meet ACA Regional Manager, Joanne Servaas.
Chiropractic professionals are well-placed to contribute to the prevention and management of musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions and their impact on patients’ lives. Nutrition plays an important role in preventing and managing musculoskeletal conditions, including chronic MSK pain. However, clinicians with an interest in nutrition are often uncertain as to what advice they may offer, operating within their scope of practice.
Emily will cover, Musculoskeletal (MSK) pain mechanisms that are affected by diet, what do adults in Australia eat, and how does this compare to health recommendations? Evidence-based dietary recommendations to support general healthy eating and basic nutrition recommendations for MSK pain. she will also look at controversial diets: low-carbohydrate diets and intermittent fasting, resources that chiropractors can promote in practice and referral pathways for access to dietitians.
It’s going to be a perfect evening of knowledge and networking.
Time: 6:30pm to 8:30pm
