It's an event you won't want to miss.
Step into a world where old meets new with "Basics and Beyond ".
Chiropractic sits at a precipice, at the forefront of the health paradigm.
Mastering the basics is crucial for creating a strong foundation to springboard us into further exploration.
Beyond the basics lies a realm of advanced concepts, research and new techniques to allow us to deepen our knowledge, refine our skills and make significant contributions to the chiropractic profession.
We plan to take you on a journey of exploration, from basic techniques and tools that are encountered in daily practice to innovative new techniques and perspectives that can take our practices to new heights and our patients closer to wellness.
Our congress will include practical and academic lectures as well as poster presentations.
Our delegates will leave with a vast variety of new skills, information and knowledge that can be used in everyday practice.
Join us on this journey, connecting with colleagues and learning new skills while having fun.
CASA congress 2024 will be a congress to remember,
so make sure that you are a part of it!
Event Registration is open!
