Managing CTE is complex. Confidently integrating care? That’s next-level.
You’ve learned how to identify Cerebellar Tonsillar Ectopia (CTE) and navigate early management strategies… but what happens when patients present with advanced dysfunction and complex symptom patterns?
In Part 3 of Dr. Satya’s continuing education series on ChiroCredit.com, she goes beyond the basics to help you:
✅ Synthesize exam findings for clearer clinical decisions.
✅ Customize care for patients with mixed sympathetic dominance and dorsal vagal collapse.
✅ Apply advanced hands-on strategies to manage adverse mechanical tension and improve CSF flow.
Because when it comes to CTE, patients need more than temporary symptom relief – they need providers who can confidently address the root causes and guide them toward sustainable healing.
🎓 If you’re ready to elevate your care, deepen your clinical mastery, and become the provider these patients desperately need – Management of Common Conditions 271: Dx and Mgmt of Cerebellar Tonsillar Ectopia Part 3 is live now on ChiroCredit.com.
Hour 1
- List the relevant indications to assess for imbalance in cross-crawl patterning.
- Describe testing procedures to determine specific cross-crawl pattern imbalances.
- Describe testing procedures to assess for signs of dysautonomia.

Hour 3
- Describe clinical considerations in terms of safety of providing care (knowing when to adjust and when NOT to adjust).
- Define what is “primary” (including considerations of “cause” as well as “least stressful point of access” to determine what to adjust or otherwise apply therapeutic input).
- Recognize patterns of and describe gestalt clinical interpretation for different conditions
- Describe patterns of peripheral nerve interference found through synthesis of clinical history and exam procedures.
Hour 4
- Summarize the concept of an initial Therapeutic Trial of care, including reasoning behind it and how to complete this extension of initial assessment in order to customize patient care.
- Describe considerations for technique selection (including where to start, how intensely to adjust, and how to adjust).
- Explain reasoning behind initial frequency of care, and how/when/why to modify this frequency.
- Describe the considerations for projecting response to care and prognosis.
