This is a 4-hour audiovisual course presented by Satya Sardonicus, DC, CACCP
Hour 1
- Discuss an overview of Cerebellar Tonsillar Ectopia
- Discuss the statistical incidence and association with head and neck trauma
- Identify associated and confounding Factors
- Recognize in clinical practice the common signs and symptoms of CTE
- Refer for appropriate evaluation and diagnostic imaging for patients with this condition
Hour 2
- Appraise Updated Biomechanics: The Biotensegrity Model
- Describe the tensegrity model as it relates to biomechanics from a cellular to organism level.
- Define fascia, including anatomical lines and physical properties.
- Describe the Dural Fascial Kinetic Chain and its relationship to Adverse Mechanical Tension
- Describe the clinical relevance of biotensegrity, and how to apply these updated architectural and biomechanical principles to the delivery of chiropractic adjustments.
- Identify the different types of Adverse Mechanical Tension affecting patients
- Discuss the relationship between fascia and CNS function, including both direct mechanical tension and embedded proprioceptive/nociceptive feedback mechanisms influencing autonomic neurological function.
Hour 3
- Explain CNS distortion: Chronic Stress
- Summarize the impact of chronic stress on CNS processing.
- List Common types of dysautonomia
- Recognize common signs and symptoms of dysautonomia during initial patient presentation.
- Explain the diagnostic process for dysautonomia, including both testing and interpretation.
- Summarize clinical considerations for the patient with sympatheticotonia.
Hour 4
- Recognize CSF hydrodynamics and cranial anatomy, and related symptomatology.
- Recognize and describe the common signs and symptoms of abnormal hydrodynamics and Adverse Mechanical Tension (AMT) affecting cranial and dural dynamics.
- Refer for appropriate evaluation and testing procedures for CSF and cranial dynamics.
- Perform modified cranial and fascial release techniques
