Exploring Subluxation Neurology Part 3

Course overview

*Identify the relationship between an upper cervical - trigeminal cervical nucleus and headaches. *Integrate headache, upper cervical spine, and the temporomandibular joint. *Distinguish between the clinical management of compressive neuropathology v. supersensitivity nerve interference. *Identify "red flags" associated with compressive neuropathology. *Discuss the relationship between mechanoreceptors, the sympathetic nervous system, and neuroimmunology. *Highlight the uniqueness of upper cervical spine mechanoreceptors and the vagus nerve. *Describe mechanobiology and diseases of mechanotransduction. *Explain connective tissue as a body-wide signaling network. *Summarize some randomized controlled/clinical trials pertaining to chiropractic and/or manipulation care. *Recall studies looking at the influence of chiropractic care on opioid use. *Interpolate the importance of sagittal posture on pain and function. *Examine the importance of sagittal posture on cognition. *Integrate evolutionary biology, infection, and the existence of chiropractic subluxation. *Summarize studies showing the influence of joint adjusting on a variety of visceral syndromes. *Detail the relationship between an infectious agent and host health. *Recognize the basic details of neuroimmunology.
