Nutritional Supplementation for Migraine Headaches and Osteoarthritis
Date: TBA
Description: Having to turn learning into practice is challenging. New studies appear every day, and sometimes conflict with older research. Nutritional products are poorly regulated, leading to vague label claims and sometimes questionable quality and safety. Seminar attendees will learn how to quickly find information electronically and assess it to guide your clinical decisions and product selection. We will apply an evidence-based, small-group, hands-on approach to two common conditions that appear daily in clinical practice: osteoarthritis, and migraine.
