Description

This webinar includes exploring the clinical interface between spinal structure/function and brain health, emphasizing practical implications for chiropractic practice. Drawing on current evidence about mechanical injury, CSF/glymphatic dynamics, neuroinflammation, and autonomic interactions, the course synthesizes pathophysiology with actionable assessment and management strategies. Clinicians will learn a concise neurological screening protocol to detect red flags for myelopathy and other progressive neurodegenerative presentations, how to decide when imaging or urgent referral is required, and how to adapt conservative care safely while coordinating with medical and surgical colleagues. The session prioritizes strategies that preserve neurologic safety, optimize function (pain, gait, balance, sleep), and support modifiable systemic risk factors that influence neurodegenerative risk.
