The American Naprapathic Association is constantly improving upon our educational standards as our medicine advances. Offering Board Certification is the obvious next steps for our Licensed Naprapaths. The ANA will soon be implementing board certification programs in various specialty areas such as Neurology, Pediatrics, Geriatrics, Family Planning, Sports Medicine and more to name a few.
Board Certifications offered and provided through ANA are tentatively scheduled to begin in the fall of 2024. Be sure that you are signed up to our mailing list to be notified when these programs will launch. Board Certifications will be valid for 5 years and will require re-certification every 5 years. Please be advised, that the Board Certification provided by the National Board of Naprapathic Examiners is NOT a true board certification for any LICENSED NAPRAPATH! This is the opportunity for Licensed Naprapaths to claim to be Board Certified.
Naprapathic Winter Conference – December 8, 2024
Presentation by Dr. Mike Widener
Title: Reflections and Innovations in Naprapathy
Introduction:
Session Topics:
Conclusion:
From birth, through Podiatry College I lived in New York. Thirteen years as a Podiatrist outside of Nashville, TN was followed by a 27 year career re-inventing the foot orthotic. I founded a foot orthotic company in TN (Sole Supports, Inc.) and am now semi-retired on the beautiful gulf coast of Florida.
In my travels, teaching at medical conventions, I came across a muscle relaxation technique that seems to relieve the vast majority of Muscle and joint pain. I have had surprising success with this simple technique and would like to measure the effects and publish the results so that more people can benefit from these gentle, easy relaxation techniques. I want to teach these techniques broadly for FREE so that anyone and everyone can achieve pain relief at home without drugs, surgery, machines…..just your hands and some knowledge.
