Module 806/906 Autonomic Nervous System

Main Objective:
The main objective of this module is to review the clinical anatomy and neurophysiological structure of the autonomic nervous system. Emphasis will be placed on the central brain influences on autonomic function as it relates to disease states affecting the autonomic nervous system. Further emphasis will be placed on the structure and function of the ANS in relationship to respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and genitourinary function and pathology. Autonomic concomitants associated with central and peripheral lesions will be reviewed. Clinical methodology involving diagnosis and treatment of neurological dysfunction of the ANS will be reviewed.

Key Concepts:
1. Clinical anatomical and physiological similarities and differences between the parasympathetic & sympathetic nervous systems

2. Autonomic regulation of heart rate and rhythm.

3. VA ratio testing, bilateral blood pressure testing, palatal elevation testing and baroreceptor reflex testing as indicators for central mechanisms influencing clinical autonomic syndromes.

4. Autonomic dysfunction and its relationship to pain.

5. Chiropractic applications in the treatment of RSDS, Tachycardia, arrhythmia’s and bladder dysfunction.
