The Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.) degree is a professional doctoral degree that requires rigorous graduate-level education and state licensure to practice. It is a doctorate-level degree, comparable to an M.D. or D.O., focusing on the diagnosis, care, and prevention of disorders of the spine and nervous system.

Education requirements: Earning a D.C. degree requires about four years of study after completing a bachelor's degree (which often includes specific prerequisite coursework). The programs include a minimum of 4,200 hours of classroom, laboratory, and clinical experience.

Professional scope: Chiropractors are considered primary healthcare professionals, focused on musculoskeletal and nervous system disorders, and use non-invasive methods like manual adjustments, without prescribing medication or performing surgery.

Licensing: To practice, graduates must pass a multi-part national board examination and obtain a state license.

Accreditation: The degree must be earned from a chiropractic college accredited by the Council on Chiropractic Education (CCE).

🙃🫠😉Little do they know when they think it's appropriate to say to me upon first meeting..."Well, you know there are some bad Chiropractors🤐, that this is what I'm thinking😂😂😂...

During sleep, the brain's waste clearance system (the glymphatic system) is most active, facilitated by increased cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow. This process involves the coordinated interplay of neural activity, blood flow, and brain volume changes, including movement that involves the occipital lobe.
Brain Volume and CSF Flow
Expansion/Shrinkage Cycle: The brain's interstitial space (the space between cells) rapidly expands and shrinks during the sleep-wake cycle. During NREM (non-rapid eye movement) sleep, this space expands, and large, low-frequency waves of CSF flow into the brain parenchyma, effectively "washing" the brain tissue.
Waste Clearance: This increased flow helps to remove metabolic waste products and potentially toxic proteins like beta-amyloid, which accumulate during the day.
Aging and Atrophy: In aging, reduced CSF flow during sleep is observed, which is associated with gray matter atrophy (brain shrinkage), particularly in the frontal regions. This reduced clearance is linked to an increased risk of neurodegenerative diseases.
Occipital Movement and Neural Activity
Neural Drivers: The large waves of CSF flow are tightly coupled to and preceded by slow waves of neural activity (delta power) during NREM sleep.
Hemodynamic Link: These neural slow waves drive oscillations in cerebral blood volume. As blood volume decreases in an area, CSF flows into the vacated space, and vice-versa.
Regional Specificity: Studies have shown that both frontal and occipital delta activity are correlated with CSF flow, but with some regional differences in the strength of this correlation depending on the sleep stage.
Sensory Input: During wakefulness, visual stimuli (which primarily engage the occipital lobe) cause neural activity and corresponding hemodynamic changes that also affect CSF flow dynamics, further demonstrating the link between localized brain activity and fluid movement.
In summary, proper brain function and the prevention of brain shrinkage linked to waste accumulation rely on efficient CSF flow, a process highly dependent on healthy sleep patterns and synchronized neural and vascular activity involving various brain regions, including the occipital lobe.

👀😵🙈🥴The force of a high school football tackle can range from hundreds to over 2,500(N) newtons, depending on the players' mass, speed, and how quickly the tackle is completed. 🚫REPEATED🔴.CARELESS.🟥NEGATIVEINTENTION

🟡⚡️🟨Logic. Reason. Education. Experience. Facts.

🟢With the athletes I treat, I safely, gently undo those harmful impacts from games...

🌿💠KNOWLEDGE-BASED, SKILLED, AND PROFFESSIONAL:
The force of a chiropractic adjustment varies significantly depending on the patient's needs and the technique used, but it often relies more on speed and precision than on high force. F=MXA.

Studies show a wide range of forces, from an average peak of about 79.5N for some cervical adjustments to much higher forces, around 400N or more, for thoracic or lumbar adjustments, according to ScienceDirect.com. Factors like the patient's age, bone density, and specific condition determine the amount of force applied.

Force varies by technique

Traditional adjustments: For otherwise healthy individuals, skilled chiropractors use experience and physical assessment to apply a "deep force" adjustment with the necessary speed and precision to move a joint.

Low-force techniques: Methods like the Activator method use a tool to deliver a spring-loaded, high-velocity, low-amplitude impulse to a specific point, which is a much gentler way to mobilize a vertebra.

Instrument-assisted techniques: Some instruments, like the one used in Atlas Orthogonal chiropractic, deliver a percussive force of about six pounds (26.7N)

Force varies by body region

Cervical (neck) adjustments: A 2024 study found the average peak force to be around
79.5N.

Thoracic and lumbar (back) adjustments: Peak forces can be substantially smaller for neck manipulations than for the thoracic and lumbar spine, which may require forces around 400N.

How force is determined

A chiropractor will consider the patient's age, injuries, and conditions like osteoporosis when deciding on the right force and technique.

Assessment of the patient's posture, flexibility, and muscle tone is used to determine how much force is needed.

The goal is to use the minimum force necessary for an effective adjustment, balancing force with speed, notes Natural Health Practices.
