Course Description

This lecture introduces chiropractors to a groundbreaking approach for assessing and managing the cranio-cervical junction (CCJ). Attendees will gain practical tools to quickly and efficiently identify and correct vertebral subluxation complex (VSC) in this critical neurovascular region. The session highlights chiropractors’ unique role in addressing VSC as a global health concern through corrective and maintenance care. Key neurological testing methods, including infrared atlas fossa testing, cervical nerve grip strength, Rhomberg’s balance variations, pupillary reflex, and infrared thermography for sympathetic/parasympathetic assessment, will be explored. Participants will also learn to assess eight cervical ranges of motion, using patient participation to detect biomechanical alterations and guide precise chiropractic adjustments. Ending the session will be a quick and precise upright adjustment protocol specifically designed for the cranio-cervical junction. With this technique, you only need a high-quality infrared thermometer and a hand-held adjusting instrument to make adjustments anywhere, by any size chiropractor on any size patient.

Learning Objectives

1. 1. Master a novel CCJ assessment and management protocol. 
   2. Enhance speed and efficiency in neurological testing. 
   3. Acquire practical tools to adjust the cranio-cervical junction and be ready for immediate clinical use

Course Description

The Jackson Cranio-Cervical Junction Method (JCCJM) is a functional, upper-cervical–focused chiropractic approach designed to assess and improve the neurological and biomechanical integrity of the cranio-cervical junction. This method emphasizes dynamic assessment, neurological testing, and biomechanical analysis rather than reliance on static imaging.

JCCJM is not a stand-alone chiropractic technique. It is intentionally structured to integrate seamlessly into a chiropractor’s existing practice model, regardless of technique style or philosophical orientation. The method evaluates the kinetic chains influencing cranio-cervical junction stability, including cervical motion, posture, balance, neuromuscular coordination, and global movement patterns.

The Jackson Cranio-Cervical Junction Method can be successfully implemented without the use of X-rays, relying instead on objective neurological and biomechanical testing such as infrared thermography, grip dynamometry, balance testing, and computerized neuromechanical assessment. These findings guide clinical decision-making, adjustment protocols, and outcome-based reassessment.

This course provides both didactic and hands-on instruction, allowing participants to leave fully prepared to apply the method immediately in practice with a minimal learning curve.

Learning Objectives

1. Describe the clinical relevance of the cranio-cervical junction in neurological and biomechanical function
2. Explain the foundational principles of the Jackson Cranio-Cervical Junction Method
3. Compare JCCJM with other cranio-cervical junction and upper cervical approaches
4. Perform neurological and functional testing relevant to cranio-cervical assessment
5. Interpret objective findings to guide subluxation identification and adjustment strategies
6. Apply specialized biomechanical assessment protocols for the cranio-cervical junction
7. Implement JCCJM-specific adjustment protocols within their existing practice model
8. Reassess neurological and biomechanical outcomes following care

The session will examine how this shift affects chiropractic documentation, coding patterns, EHR macro use, and the growing importance of individualized, defensible clinical records. Particular attention will be given to the new risks created by cloned notes, provider risk scoring, predictive claims review, and AI-driven determinations of medical necessity. 

This presentation is also a practical roadmap. Doctors will learn the steps they can take to protect their practices, including how AI can be used on their side as a defensive and operational tool—through smarter documentation support, pre-submission claim scrubbing, and faster, more data-driven appeal generation. The course is designed to leave attendees with an immediately actionable framework for reducing audit exposure, improving note quality, strengthening claim submissions, and responding more effectively to denials. 

By the end of the talk, participants will have a clearer understanding of the technologies now influencing payer behavior, the vulnerabilities within a typical chiropractic workflow, and the specific steps they can take right away to protect both compliance and revenue. This presentation is especially relevant for DCs who want to remain clinically focused while adapting to a reimbursement environment increasingly governed by machines, probabilities, and AI-based decision-making.

Learning Objectives: 

1. Define how AI is radically changing claims processing, payments and denials.
2. Recognize challenges and compliance concerns with AI adoption.
3. Identify what steps to take now to protect their practice while working with and utilizing AI.

Course Description

Part 1 grounds the series in the diagnostic and acute-care end of practice, where pattern recognition and disciplined workup matter most. Through real-world cases, it moves from high- yield “in the news”; research to a structured urgent-care toolkit distinguishing viral from bacterial processes, managing acute inflammation and pain, and handling UTIs and foodborne  illness—before turning to gastrointestinal physiology, where mechanisms such as hypochlorhydria, hydrogen sulfide, and reflux are addressed with practical, biofeedback-driven dosing. The session then builds toward systemic interpretation: reading iron and anemia panels in the context of physical findings, and connecting cardiometabolic disease, heavy metals, and environmental pollutants to insulin resistance and vascular-cognitive risk. The throughline is recognition and workup seeing the pattern early and confirming it efficiently.

Learning Objectives

1. Differentiate viral from bacterial presentations in common urgent-care complaints (pharyngitis, acute inflammatory pain, UTI) and select evidence-informed acute intervention protocols accordingly.
2. Correlate foodborne-illness symptom onset and timing with likely pathogen classes to guide triage and management decisions.

3.   Apply a mechanistic, biofeedback-based approach to gastrointestinal complaints—including hypochlorhydria, sulfur/H₂S intolerance, and reflux—using betaine HCl dosing and related strategies.
4. Interpret iron-metabolism and anemia laboratory panels alongside corroborating physical exam findings (e.g., scleral changes) to reach a defensible diagnostic impression.
5. Evaluate environmental and cardiometabolic contributors to chronic disease—including heavy metals and persistent organic pollutants and their relationship to insulin resistance and vascular/cognitive risk.

Part 2 shifts from recognition to optimization and treatment, opening with a rigorous framework for hormone assessment—when serum, saliva, or urine each tells the truth, how to read “normal labs but feels terrible,” and what estrogen-metabolite and clearance patterns imply for therapy and cancer risk. From there it surveys a therapeutic toolkit: repurposed medications, breast-health considerations, and systemic proteolytic enzymes weighed against NSAIDs for pain and inflammation. The session then explores metabolic levers—sugar metabolism, fasting and fasting-mimicking diets and their effects on immunosenescence, and the rapidly evolving GLP class, with practical attention to mechanism, monitoring, motility, and muscle preservation. It closes with high-utility neuro-metabolic and adjunctive pearls: differentiating fatigue from boredom and depression through dopamine and arousal, plus targeted approaches to restless leg syndrome, melatonin, shingles, and exercise as cancer-risk modification.

Learning Objectives

1. Select the appropriate hormone-testing modality (serum, salivary, or urinary) for a given clinical question and interpret discordant results, including estrogen-metabolite and cortisol-clearance patterns.

Course Description

This is a case-based lecture pulling from cases read for chiropractors across the nation. We will review a wide range of pathology from sports injury, arthritis, infection and neoplasm all of which have come through practicing Chiropractors doors. Proper utilization of imaging will be covered, and this will remind the practicing doctor that arthritis is not the only pathology that could come through their door!

Learning Objectives

1. Identify and differentiate common and uncommon pathologies encountered in chiropractic practice, including sports injuries, degenerative conditions, infections, and neoplastic processes.
2. Apply clinical reasoning to case-based scenarios in order to recognize red flags and determine when advanced diagnostic evaluation or referral is warranted.
3. Demonstrate appropriate utilization of diagnostic imaging to support accurate assessment, improve differential diagnosis, and guide patient management decisions.
