Description

Inflammation is at the root of nearly every chronic condition—and understanding its mechanisms is essential for delivering effective, whole-body care. In this insightful course, Dr. Howard Benedikt explores the “good, bad, and ugly” sides of inflammation, giving chiropractors a deeper understanding of immune response, common triggers, and evidence-based strategies for managing inflammation naturally.

You’ll examine the differences between innate and adaptive immunity, the critical connection between the gut and systemic inflammation, and how chronic inflammation contributes to neurodegenerative and autoimmune conditions. The course also highlights nutritional and lifestyle interventions designed to reduce or resolve inflammation at its source.

In this course, you’ll learn to:

Understand acute vs. chronic inflammation and their physiological roles

Identify common triggers of inflammation, including diet, stress, and environmental factors

Explore the role of gut health and neuroinflammation in systemic disease

Apply nutritional strategies to help reduce or resolve inflammatory responses

Empower your patients with care that addresses the root cause—and calm the fire within.
