4 hours of Diagnosis $60.00 $49.00

Vertigo is a common complaint that is often confusing – from the cause to the most appropriate management. Causes range from benign conditions, to vascular and neoplastic conditions, so it is essential for the Chiropractic Physician to have a thorough confident understanding of this condition.  There are many different causes of vertigo that are effectively treated in a Chiropractic office, so it is essential to determine if these are present. This course is the first part of a course designed to address the common clinical condition of vertigo. Topics covered include review of anatomy of the vestibular system, including both the anatomic structures and neurologic pathways. Discussion of vestibular nuclei, vestibular apparatus, anatomy and neurologic control of extraocular muscles, as well as a practical discussion of how vertigo and nystagmus develop, and the causes of each.   This also includes a detailed discussion of the causes of vertigo from infectious processes to trauma, concussion, blast injury and the common condition of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). Specific clinical details of how to determine cause of mechanical vertigo, as well as multiple testing procedures and treatments for BPPV and other conditions are included. For your patients that have vertigo, this is an essential course for understanding of the cause and treatment of this common condition.

  3. Mechanisms that help to explain Chiropractic localization testing, leg length changes, etc.
  4. How the autonomic nervous system, immune system, and other systems are affected by the adjustment
  5. Why normal spinal motion is believed to be the basis for local motor activity, as well as the basis for higher brain function
  6. How adjusting and the systems that are affected are related to Autism, ADHD, and other conditions
  7. How adjusting increases muscular strength, coordination, and potentially higher brain function such as memory, emotions, intellect, etc.

And much more…

This series presents a combination of review of scientific research literature, coupled with Chiropractic theory, Neuroanatomy, and adjusting techniques.  This is essential information for the Chiropractic Profession, and is designed to increase the practicing DC’s knowledge and understanding of what makes Chiropractic an essential part of optimal health and the health care system as a whole.  Utilize knowledge gained in this series to enhance your practice through patient care, education and collaboration with other health care professionals.  Now more than ever, the power and potential of the adjustment needs to be clearly explained and detailed to show why it is an essential part of optimal health and development.
