Integrating Vibroacoustic Intervention into Evidence-Based Chiropractic Practice
Course Title:
Vibroacoustic Intervention for Chronic Pain and Spinal Health: Mechanisms, Evidence, and Applications
Instructors:
- Dr. Lee Bartel, PhD – Professor Emeritus and international researcher in the science of sound and music for health.
- Dr. Aslam Khan, DC – Chiropractic clinician and researcher specializing in spinal biomechanics and chronic pain management.
- Together, they bring complementary perspectives that connect sound-based research with hands-on clinical application.
Duration: 2 Hours
Cost: 80 USD/person
Format: Online, asynchronous (i.e. people can watch it when they want)
This CE course bridges research, theory, and clinical application. It introduces chiropractors to the science of sound-based vibration, exploring how vibroacoustic intervention affects the nervous system, musculoskeletal function, and pain perception. The course blends foundational knowledge with practical clinical reasoning — helping practitioners understand when and how VAT can be applied safely and effectively in chiropractic care.
Course Focus:
- Learn the theoretical, physiological, and clinical foundations of vibroacoustic intervention (VAT).
- Understand how sound vibration influences neurological, musculoskeletal, and autonomic systems.
- Explore how VAT principles can be applied to chronic pain, spinal dysfunction, and mobility.
- Translate theory into practice through evidence-based examples and discussion.
Learning Highlights:
- Explain neurophysiological and biomechanical mechanisms behind VAT’s effects.
- Review international research on VAT’s outcomes in pain, mobility, and neurological function.
- Apply VAT concepts within a chiropractic model for spinal health.
- Strengthen clinical reasoning in selecting and integrating sound-based modalities into existing chiropractic care.
- Learn about available chiropractic modalities in the VAT landscape.
- Recognize ethical considerations and scope of practice when applying VAT clinically.
Value to Practitioners:
Participants will gain actionable, evidence-based insights that expand their therapeutic toolkit. This course empowers chiropractors to incorporate non-invasive, research-informed approaches to pain management and spinal care. It supports alignment with current models of evidence-based, multimodal, and patient-centered practice.
