4 hours of Diagnosis $60.00 $49.00

Chiropractic and the Cerebellum – Overview

One of the major targets that is affected by Chiropractic management is the cerebellum – in fact, the cerebellum by many is considered the ‘gateway” by which Chiropractic works to improve nervous system function.  It is well known that the specific mechansims of Chiropractic treatment directly cause changes in the function of the cerebellum and also higher brain structures – but, to understand the way in which Chiropractic works to improve neurologic function and conditions such as Autism, ADHD, vertigo, ataxia, and even common pain syndromes, it is essential to understand the cerebellum.  This seminar provides both the anatomic and functional characteristics of the cerebellum, and how these are directly related to Chiropractic treatment.  These are essential concepts that provide mechanisms for treatment of not only mechanically based back and neck pain, but also expand into the rationale and mechanisms of treatment for more complex conditions. This information is essential for Chiropractors as well as their team of health care professionals, and opens up the potential to treat many patient conditions with confidence and knowledge.

Chiropractic and the Cerebellum – Hourly Overview

Hour 1 –  This hours details the classic thoughts of cerebellar structure and function, and then details research that indicates the expansive function of cerebellar activity into cognition, creativity, as well as the role of the cerebellum as “synchronizer” of higher brain function.  This hour concludes with detailed diagnostic and clinical information associated with the specific location of the cerebellum and potential signs and symptoms associated with disorders of these structures.

Hour 2 – Here the details of specific cerebellar anatomy are disclosed.  These include the homuncular concept of cerebellar mapping, and how and where Chiropractic management would effect specific regions of input and output of the cerebellum. 

Hour 3 – The function of the cerebellum is detailed – from the cellular level to the global function of the different cortices and nuclei, and how these directly function in reference to patient function.  Concepts of Chiropractic management for specific conditions are discussed.  The specific pathways used by Chiropractic management are described as well as their expected effects locally and as a whole on the patient and the function of their system. 

Hour 4 –  This hour contains a review of the three major circuits traditionally associated with the cerebellum and their neuroanatomic components.  These pathways include the posterior, anterior and flocculonodular circuits, as well as the afferent and efferent pathways and targets of each of the circuits.  Also included are the mechanisms and details of how Chiropractic management effects these pathways and the effects expected on patient function.

Autism – Part 2
WILLIAM F. HUBER, D. C., D. A. C. A. N., M. S. (R)
WHuber@stlcc.edu
4 hours of Diagnosis $60.00 $49.00

Autism Overview

What is Autism?   Is there any place for Chiropractic in the treatment, improvement or alteration of patients with this diagnosis?  Over the last few decades, the incidence of a diagnosis of Autism, or Autism Spectrum Disorders have increased dramatically – in fact, the dramatic increase between 1960 and 2000 was expected to plateau, but just the opposite is occurring – the incidence rate continues to accelerate!  How are these diagnoses made, and if present, what contributes to these? Is there any place for Chiropractic in the management of these patients? – the answer is Yes!

In this series, learn what Autism is, how it is diagnosed, and how these patients can be impacted by Chiropractic treatment, as well as the mechanisms of how/when/why this type of treatment can be so critical for patients.  From a Chiropractic standpoint, learn the research and details of how genetics, gender, environment, diet, etc., are related to this condition, and what can be done therapeutically to assist in treatment with these patients.  Also, learn the signs and symptoms for the diagnosis of Autism, the related neuroanatomy of the disorder, and what may be done to maximize function of patients and why Chiropractic can be an indispensable tool.  Gain the knowledge to be confident in the application of Chiropractic techniques so that the greatest number of patients can benefit from the special role of Chiropractic in the health care system.

Autism Part 2 Hourly Overview

Hour 5 – This hour details the changes seen in the cerebellum and target neurologic structures.  These include the Chiropractic mechanisms that may be beneficial to neurotransmitter function (serotonin, glutamate, etc.), as well as noted changes in function and structure of brain structures associated with Autism, which research indicates in most commonly seen in the human cerebellum.

Hour 6 – This hour details the function of normal and abnormal cerebellar centers as they relate to Autism.  Additionally, described is the “Extreme Mail Brain Theory” and the noted caused that describe why Autism is seen to have a higher incidence in males.  These include the effects of testosterone on brain structure and function that begins in utero, and also the adult analogs.  Discussion also revolves around other disorders such as ADHD, etc.

Hour 7 – In this hour, the concept of “Default Mode Network Connectivity” is visited.  In effect, there are noted connectivity changes found in Autism disorders that are associated with the cerebellar connections to higher brain centers such as the prefrontal cortex, global cerebral cortex, thalamus, and others.  Details of research on brain regions in males versus females versus Autism patients in both structure and function are described.

Hour 8 – This section details fetal testosterone and it’s effects on the developing brain.  Also included are physical signs and symptoms that are associated with not only Autism diagnosis, but also theories of in utero environment, as well as immune challenges to the mother and infant that can lead to the development of an Autism Spectrum Disorder.

WHuber@stlcc.edu
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.
