Description

Degenerative arthritis, often labeled as “wear and tear”, is one of the most common conditions treated in chiropractic care. In this course, you’ll explore the pathology and pathophysiology behind degenerative joint disease and gain a deeper understanding of how chronic inflammation, structural breakdown, and functional decline develop over time. In additionyou will learn nutritional strategies to help amnage patients with arthritic conditions.

The course also introduces the emerging concept of the Gut-Brain-Musculoskeletal Axis, revealing how systemic health—particularly gut function and neuroimmune signaling may influence the onset and progression of musculoskeletal degeneration. Learn how this interconnected approach, rooted in nutrition and functional medicine, opens the door to more comprehensive and lasting treatment strategies.

What you’ll gain:

A review of the mechanisms behind degenerative arthritis

A functional understanding of the Gut-Brain-Musculoskeletal Axis

Insight into the systemic drivers of joint degeneration

Strategies to enhance musculoskeletal care through a whole-body lens
