Am I At Risk For Stroke? A Neurological Deep Dive

Join Dr. Michael Hall, DC, FIACN, for an essential investigation into the clinical indicators of stroke predisposition. This session moves beyond general statistics to analyze the neuroanatomy of ischemic versus hemorrhagic stroke, the role of TIA and migraines, and the physiological impact of "Allostatic Load." Learn to interpret vital signs, monitor tidal volume/FVC, and recognize the clinical significance of hypertonic SCMs and scalenes in the context of vascular health.

What You'll Learn

• Stroke Pathophysiology: Differentiating the mechanisms and clinical signs of Ischemic vs. Hemorrhagic stroke.
• Anatomy of Risk: The clinical significance of cervical musculature tension (SCM/Scalenes) and its relation to vascular compromise.
• Lifestyle & Allostatic Load: Understanding the cumulative wear and tear on the nervous system and the "IML escape" mechanism.
• Diagnostic Markers: Integrating vital sign monitoring, chest expansion measures, and sleep study interpretation into your risk assessment.
• Preventive Chiropractic: Implementing evidence-based strategies to manage stroke risk factors within the chiropractic scope of practice.
