"Allow me to compliment you on your extraordinary work in producing the ACADEMIA online learning modules for Chiropractors. This is precisely the type of option I had hoped for in attaining my formal CPD requirements. The eLearning Episodes have far exceeded my expectations. Truthfully, I had anticipated the task of accumulating the learning hours being a chore. However, I am pleased to report that the online material has been both engaging and highly stimulating. It has re-awakened my passion for functional neurology and your integration of current research, experience, and multimedia learning is the highest in its class. The presentation is exceptional. Congratulations, and thank you."
Dr Shane Madigan - Beecroft, New South Wales
“It has been two years since I left France to settle in the Southern Hemisphere. Like hundreds of chiropractors in Australia and NZ, even in Asia, I am attending CDI's seminars. I expected something very good as the word-of-mouth was excellent, but to be honest, it was beyond my hopes.
These seminars are brilliant, focusing on the chiropractic science and the functional neurology in particular. The main points of interest are: expertise in not only articular disorders, but also vertigo, balance and headaches, refinement of our diagnostic tools, precision in reasoning, and unique strategies of communication with patients and health care providers - including general practitioners.
Drs Anthony Nicholson and Matthew Long have exceptional skills to put into practice the latest scientific advances, pushing attendants to raise their level of knowledge without any concessions on the basics, whatever the techniques and orientations of the practice. The seminars are vivid and stimulating, never boring.
Consequently, my professional skills and communication have been radically modified, enhancing curiosity, satisfaction and loyalty of patients, as well as the perception of chiropractic by other practitioners. Never would I have thought to write specialist-class reports that stimulate GPs to refer many of their patients. Not only is it a sheer delight for all of my family to live in New Zealand, but on top of that, working as I have always hoped, has made this challenge a total success.”
Thierry Mazer - Orewa, New Zealand
“Totally useable. Totally chiropractic. Inspiring."
Dr Peter van Zweeden - Tauranga, New Zealand
“I have recently attended the “Neurology of Chiropractic” seminar held at the NZ Chiropractic College in Auckland over the past weekend, run by CDI from Sydney. Those chiropractors who did not attend missed an amazing chance to stay current with today's neurological basis for what we as chiropractors do.
The seminar was Module 1 of five Modules. This seminar topic was a brilliant update on the latest neurology research, made relevant by these two outstanding chiropractors who have been involved in teaching Neurology at Macquarie University. They actually made neurology enjoyable. Anthony and Matthew certainly know their stuff, and enjoyed enthusing us in their grasp of the subject - the two guys are brilliant.
The quality of the workbook they provide, along with the powerpoint presentations, cleverly weaved with practical graphic illustrations that we participants had to draw... made us thoroughly engage in the subject. They made details of very weighty technically challenging neurological facts into bite size chunks... certainly easier for us as clinical chiropractors to digest. By doing it this way, they have made the transition for us to apply this stuff in practice a more realistic possibility. It was easier to see now how I could incorporate this new neurology insight into everyday use in practice and the relevance to our day-to-day clinical application was made easier to see.”
Dr Simon Roughan - Christchurch, New Zealand
"I set out with Anthony and Matthew to understand what I did as a chiropractor because I felt very discouraged. Along the way my conviction and knowledge has grown. And with it has my practice. I am now turning away non-referred business. Why? Because they want to be seen that day and I am honestly fully booked these days. I am currently seeing more new patients per week and 90+percent of them are referred, either from other patients or GPs. I am now looking for an associate to pick up the other work.
Now, more patients tell me their GP has told them "You need to see this chiro!!". I never ever thought that would happen to me. While I have never really set out to "recruit" GPs referrals, it has certainly happened with CDI's strategies. I even had a GP tell me I knew more than him in this area!! Without the CDI seminars I would still be discouraged and feeling frustrated. I would still be a therapist!!
I am sure you get lots of letters like this; but I want to say to all and sundry that knowledge and professionalism is, I believe, the key to success. Learn from the best - Thank you Matthew and Anthony!!"
Dr Sarah Nelson - Hamilton, New Zealand
"Once again an awesome weekend of great insight and detailed information. It has improved my practice life significantly through driving greater confidence in my clinical decision making and then being able to comfortably translate this to other health professionals."
Dr Russell Hanna - Magill, South Australia
“I had an acute disc patient walk-in yesterday, as a 5th year student I felt incredibly confident in my findings. I don't think I could have been any happier with the outcome. I may even have made a patient for life. I felt like a genius yesterday and I believe CDI is responsible for that feeling. I was scared of an acute disc patient walking through my door last Friday, come Monday I can't wait for the next one. Expertise in diagnosis, and confidence in your diagnosis, ultimately leads to confident and efficient practice. Clinically exact information, inspiring presenters and the most up-to-date research.”
Josh Hallett - Final Year Intern, Sydney, Australia
"I would like to thank you both for a fantastic year of seminars, both challenging and inspiring. I am grateful for the knowledge I have attained, and feel so much more competent and confident as a result. As a clinician my diagnostic skills, examination routine and patient compliance are vastly improved and there is a better purpose to my work as a whole because I understand a lot more about what I'm doing! Your seminars should be a prerequisite for registration and would form a solid foundation for every chiropractor. I look forward to continuing my education next year..."
Dr Jane Tweedie - East Gosford, New South Wales
"Another great endorsement for the product you offer. To my surprise today I had a local GP (whom I have written to many times and has referred me a number of patients) refer me another GP as a new patient for his persistent neck pain (this doctor is also an associate lecturer at university). I never thought I would see the day that a GP would walk into my office for my opinion on his condition and how to appropriately manage it. Thank you again Matthew and Anthony."
Dr Stephanos Kassabalis - Croydon Park, New South Wales
