Neurology 219: Cervicogenic Hypertension | CCEDseminars

Online Chiropractic CE: Neurology 219 – Cervicogenic Hypertension – Explore the neuro-cardiovascular connection. This 2-hour advanced course examines the medical hypothesis linking cervical spine dysfunction to autonomic regulation and systemic blood pressure. State Board & PACE approved and facilitated by Texas Chiropractic College.

The Cervical Spine and Blood Pressure: A Medical Hypothesis

Join Dr. Michael Hall, DC, FIACN, for a deep dive into the Intermediolateral (IML) cell column and its pivotal role in hypertension. This session analyzes current research from the medical sciences, exploring how the brain stem reticular formation and upper cervical neurology influence autonomic stability. Gain a sophisticated chiropractic perspective on the prevalence, clinical considerations, and evidence-based management of cervicogenic hypertension.

What You'll Learn

• Neuro-Anatomy of Hypertension: A detailed review of the IML cell column and the brainstem reticular formation.
• Medical Hypothesis Analysis: Evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of current research linking spinal health to BP regulation.
• Autonomic Regulation: Understanding how cervical dysfunction triggers sympathetic pathways associated with hypertension.
• Clinical Considerations: Identifying patient presentations that suggest a cervicogenic component to high blood pressure.
• Chiropractic Perspectives: Integrating neurological insights into evidence-based care plans for hypertensive patients.
