Quintessential Applications (QA) is a clinical protocol, which serves as a roadmap for a doctor to follow in the clinical application of their techniques.
QA is a synthesis of 30 years of clinical observation. It presents a physiologically based paradigm for what to do first, next and last on any patient that walks into your office.As my colleague, Dr. Kerry McCord says, “The order in which you do the techniques is more important than the techniques themselves.”
The QA Protocol helps reduce stress by organizing your clinical thinking. This leads to a more efficient, and often remarkable outcomes.
