Mastering the K7 & Scan Interpretation
Hands-On Course
Designed for the New and Experienced K7 users and their entire Practice, Mastering the K7 and Scan Interpretation is an intensive Hands-on training course on how to best utilize the K7 for your TMD, Aesthetics, and Ortho cases.
The course will cover how to properly prepare the patient for a Neuromuscular workup. Each of the Scans will be discussed in detail, which include the theory and science behind each Scan, how to properly record each Scan, options available for each Scan, and how the Scans provide you a diagnostic picture of the patients.
This is followed by the Hands-on portion of the course where each doctor and their team members will work together and follow the procedures they just learned. The instructor will work with each team to make sure they understand and record each Scan correctly and confidently in a mock workup. Covered are:
-
Pre-TENS Scans (9, 9 light CO, 11, 2, 3, 6, & 13)
-
How to properly hook up the J5 and start their team member TENSing.
-
Post-TENS Scans (10, 5, 10 light CO).
Scan interpretation and diagnosis and treatment options will be focused on following the hands-on portion. Experienced clinicians will provide both insights into how and why the Scans are recorded, along with interpretation of each Scan and how the K7 can be used for the diagnosis, treatment, and management of the patient during and post-treatment. Practical tips for integrating the K7 into your practice will be discussed along with case acceptance and case completion.
