Concussion &Traumatic Brain Injury

*CE Credits are issued for Doctors of Chiropractic only.

*The following states are pending approval: Florida, Oklahoma, Arizona, California, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Texas.

This 10-hour course covers how to understand traumatic brain injury in concussion. When there is a head injury inclusive of direct trauma or coup-contrecoup type trauma the brain can sustain a myriad of injuries. The primary spine care provider must understand the signs and symptoms for early detection as this can have either pathological cognitive sequella or death at the most extreme. This course covers the clinical examination, advanced imaging and advanced neurodiagnostic testing to conclusively diagnose traumatic brain injuries and any necessary triage. Also, this program emphasizes the urgency of triage pending a clinical evaluation.

Part 1: Traumatic Brain Injury and Concussion Overview:.  This section is an in-depth overview of traumatic brain injury in concussion. It discusses that all brain injuries are traumatic and dispels the myth of a “mild traumatic brain injury.” Also, this covers triage protocols and the potential sequela of patients with traumatic brain injuries.

Part 2: Head Trauma and Traumatic Brain Injury Part 1: This section discusses gross traumatic brain injuries from trauma and significant bleeding with both epidural and subdural hematomas. There are numerous case studies reviewed inclusive of neurosurgical intervention and postsurgical outcomes.

Part 3: Head Trauma and Traumatic Brain Injury Part 2: This section continues with multiple case studies of gross traumatic brain injuries from trauma requiring neurosurgical intervention and also discusses recovery sequela based upon the significance of brain trauma. This module also concludes with concussion protocols in traumatic brain injury short of demonstrable bleeding on advanced imaging.

Part 4: Concussion And Electroencephalogram Testing: This this section covers concussion etiology and cognitive sequela where gross bleeding has not been identified on advanced imaging. It discusses the significance of electroencephalogram testing in determining brain function and pathology (if present). This module also covers the understanding of waveforms in electroencephalogram testing in both normal and abnormal scenarios.

Part 5: Concussion And Electroencephalogram Testing Pathological Results: This module covers amplitude, conduction and conduction delays as sequela to traumatic brain injury to diagnose concussion and traumatic brain injury in the absence of gross bleeding and advanced imaging. This section covers electroencephalograms and event-related potentials which measures the brain response that is a direct result of specific sensory or motor events. It is a stereotype electrophysiological response to a stimulus and provides a noninvasive means of evaluating brain function. In this module multiple case studies are discussed with ensuing triage protocols pending the results.

The neurology of ligament pathology is an inclusive course covering ligaments and spinal disc (also ligaments). As discs are integral in spinal biomechanics, we discuss the role that a herniated or bulged disc plays in aberrant biomechanics and when the patient can undergo corrective care vs. management of care. The course also explains why long-termed chiropractic care is clinically indicated. 

This course details the roles of mechanoreceptors, proprioceptors and nociceptors in a pathological spine and one that is undergoing compensation as sequellae to trauma and tissue pathology. This course prepares you to be expert on spinal pathology and the mechanisms of compensation in addition to the why a patient “might” need lifetime care, no different than the diabetic, who needs lifetime care. In addition, this course will prepare you for patients who have “shifting pain” as a natural course of compensation.

The Stroke Anatomy & Evaluation course is engineered to help you understand the vessels of the brain from both a structural and functional perspective. The course has an extensive review of the anatomy and physiology of brain hemodynamics along with detailing the variations of stroke etiology, types and complications. It covers in detail what to include and how to perform an extensive "stroke risk" history and neurological examination that allows the practitioner to be "time efficient," yet thorough. 

This course for the first time, gives the chiropractor/manual medicine provider risk factors and evaluation tools that can be performed in any clinical setting, to be able to assess and manage risk prior to delivering care. In addition, this course offers a "Clinical Protocol" to triage your patient based upon examination findings and has a section on Clinical Grand Rounds to give further insight in creating an accurate diagnosis, prognosis and treatment plan.
