Basic Science
Level 1
For junior chiropractic students or chiropractic assistants who have not yet gained any in-depth knowledge about anatomy, physiology, or pathology.
Learn the facts about why good spinal function is so important, what happens when we adjust the spine, the detrimental impacts of stress and trauma, the important role of brain mal-adaptations in chronic pain, and how chiropractic care can improve strength and alter the prefrontal cortex and cerebellum function.

Basic Science
Level 2
Aimed at those who have gained some knowledge about anatomy, physiology, pathology, neuroscience and research methodology, and science in general.
Dive deeper into what localized areas of spinal dysfunction are. Learn about these central segmental motor control problems that lead to ongoing maladaptive central plastic changes, making it harder for the brain to accurately perceive what is happening inside the body and around it, why they occur and how this impacts health, brain, pain and function.
