Virtual CE Class by

Dr. David Fletcher & Dr. Amy Spoelstra

to Benefit Sherman College's Intern Program

Discover the cutting-edge techniques that bridge modern scanning technologies with neurodevelopmental patient care through this FOCUS Academy CE session. Join Dr. David Fletcher and Dr. Amy Spoelstra '08 for an in-depth exploration of how to assess and manage neurofunctional aspects of vertebral subluxation using a “Nerve-First” approach.

Dr. Fletcher, a leading expert in the field, CEO of Chiropractic Leadership Alliance and a renowned chiropractor, and Dr. Spoelstra, a practitioner at Spoelstra Family Chiropractic and creator of Focus Academy and Brain Blossom, will lead collaborative conversations designed to enhance the practicing chiropractor's experience and knowledge while embracing the science and technology that exist.

This two-hour CE course is designed to transform your understanding of how to enhance your examination, reporting, and communication skills when working with neurodevelopmentally challenged clients and their families. Learn how the combination of data from three scanning instruments can objectively detect and report neurological relationships, allowing you to create neuroplastic care plans that improve patient outcomes across all ages.

Proceeds from this session will benefit the intern program at Sherman College. Attendees will be entered into a raffle to win an Apple Pen from Dr. David and favorite books and educational games from Dr. Amy and the FOCUS Academy.

Student Spotlight:

Irsa Khan ~ Pregnancy & Pediatric Care Focus

Meet Sherman College's 12th quarter student, Irsa Khan, from Atlantic City, NJ. Irsa received her undergraduate degree at Stockton University and is active in Sherman clubs, including the Knee Chest Society club and the ICPA-International Chiropractic Pediatric Association.

Less than a year from graduation, Irsa dreams of tackling the world with chiropractic care designed for even the smallest of humans. Her ideal work is to practice in the underserved world of pregnancy and pediatrics. She says she will focus on bringing upper cervical care to the community that needs it most. Not only is Irsa in the running to receive her CACCP (certification by the Academy Council of Chiropractic Pediatrics) through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association, but she is also well on her way to receiving advanced certification through the Knee Chest Society.

"I want to make sure that moms are living a life free of interference within their nervous system. When the mom is happy, the baby is happy. Often, as a society, we overlook the impact pregnancy and labor have, not only on the mother but on the child as well. One of the most important aspects to remember is that common does not equal normal. Fight for your children; you know them best."

When she's not in class or studying, Irsa enjoys reading, laughing with friends, and warmly serving the Spartanburg and Boiling Springs residents in Sherman's Chiropractic Clinic.
