2:50 PM – 3:40 PM        Distinguish between the clinical management of comprehensive
                                       neuropathology v. supersensitivity nerve interference. Learn
                                       "red flags" associated with compressive neuropathology 
                                       (diagnostics and examination).

 4:00 PM – 4:50 PM        Discuss the integrated physiology between inflammation,
                                        fibrosis, the Gate Theory, and chiropractic adjusting. Create
                                        a model of pain based upon the fibrosis of repair,
                                        motor, and the Gate Theory (examination).

 4:50 PM – 5:40 PM        Complete and interactive model of neuroimmunology using
                                        mechanical receptors, the sympathetic nervous system,
                                        norepinephrine and neurological magnification (diagnostics
                                        and examination). Complete an upper cervical – trigeminal
                                        cervical nucleus relationships for headache (diagnostics and
                                        examination).
