Curriculum

Empowering the Upper Cervical Doctor with Clinical Neurology

The entire curriculum has been designed around the need of the upper cervical doctor.  You will learn evaluation tools and corrective techniques to help stabilize the upper cervical correction and treating functional neurological lesions that prevent progress in care.  Major topics include the following:

UC Neuropathophysiology

Understand the full spectrum of neurological insult the Upper Cervical Subluxation plays on the nervous system. This class covers neuro-compressive lesions, hydrodynamic lesions, and feed forward lesions generated from the CCJ.


Functional Neurologic Lesions

Understand how pools of neurons can degenerate into functional neurologic lesions and how they behave. This class covers brain and neuron physiology in a normal setting as well as functional pathology within the clinical setting.

Neuro-Kinesiology

Learn how muscle testing works as it relates to functional neurological lesions. This class covers testing principles, dysfunctions categories, inhibition tests, compensations, stimulations and inhibitions, and tonicity.

Mechanoreceptors

Mechanoreceptors in the skull and neck may be corrected by the upper cervical adjustment, or may remain dysfunctional causing weakness and instability. This class covers evaluation and rehabilitation of muscle spindles, golgi tendon organs, and pacini corpuscles.

Nociceptors

When nociceptors become dysfunctional, the create pain and phantom feelings of hot, cold, and itch. If left untreated, they can create muscle hypertonicity, tics, and uncomplete recovery. This class covers evaluation and treatment of nociceptors in the skull and neck.

Vestibular System

Our vestibular system senses gravity and reflexively controls our balance, posture, eye movements. Functional disorders here can create head tilt, dizziness, and more. This class covers evaluation and treatment of the vestibular canals and utricles.

Oculomotor System

The oculomotor system has a close relationship with the cervical spine and dysfunction in one results in dysfunction in the other. Insufficient eye movements contribute to greater cervical effort and can effect holding times. Learn how to evaluate and treat pursuits, saccades, convergence, and optokinetics.

Brainstem

The Upper Cervical Subluxation causes functional lesions in the brainstem. After correcting the misalignment, adding brainstem functional rehabilitation will improve results. Learn how to evaluate the medulla, pons, and mesencephalon in seconds and rehabilitate on spot.

UCN in Practice

Implementing Upper Cervical Neurology into practice is easy since entire treatments can be performed in 2-3 minutes. Dr. Silver will cover how he evaluates and treats his patients through a care plan focused around upper cervical care and functional neurology. By combining the two, he is able to improve holding times and outcomes.

He attended Life Chiropractic College West in Hayward, CA from 2010-2014 and graduated summa cum laude. As a student there, he was president of The Upper Cervical Club and the Functional Neurology Club. During his studies there, he also completed a 300 hour training in Functional Neurology through the Carrick Institute of Graduate Studies. In 2014 he completed his Neurology board examination and earned the credentials DACNB (Diplomate on the American Chiropractic Neurology Board). He is a Certified Advanced Orthogonist and has served on the Board of Directors and as an Instructor of the Advanced Orthogonal Institute, and continues to teach today.


Dr. Silver has spent the last 10 years developing and refining neurology procedures for the care of his patients. Through his experience, he has developed the most comprehensive and practical Clinical Neurology curriculum for upper cervical doctors of every technique background. His lighthearted style intertwined with massive research makes learning fun and challenging. The Upper Cervical Neurology Seminar is the culmination of his work to bring the best and most practical aspects of Functional Neurology to the upper cervical procedures to help patients improve outcomes and increase holding times.

What other doctors say about the course

It was incredible! You are on fire and my brain is still steaming! So much useful, incredible, and practical knowledge that was so well presented!

Dr. Sarah Schilbach

Love this! Truly a new level of care. Thank you for sharing your amazing knowledge with us.

Dr. Tracey Ramirez

Thank you Josh Silver for Sharing your abundance of knowledge with myself, my team, and the room of amazing doctors!! Words cannot express how grateful I am to you. This is a must do for all docs that want to help more people in their practice!

Dr. Michael St. Louis

I was happy to be there and make the commitment to learning something radically different. It will take some time to practice this and implement it. However, I can see how this could possibly transform some of my toughest cases.

Dr. George Sooley

I was able to learn here is some different neurological tools and techniques to be able to help people hold their upper cervical alignment, and a very advanced new way.  I think one of the things that I appreciate the most about Dr. Silver is that he's always thinking outside of the box, that he's always trying to advance the profession.


Luca O'Brian

As I'm learning this method, it's very clear to me very clear that this is done very quickly. It doesn't take a lot of time and it makes a lot of sense.   I'm clearly going to be able to help a lot more of my patients.  It's this gigantic amount of care that's available to the patient, but it's been condensed down to a very simple protocol.

Dr. Harrison Salsbury

I gotta say, I am super, super impressed. I've been looking for something to help support and help my patients hold longer. I finally found something that I can practice on my last year of school that I really think will make the difference. It's efficient, effective, and he stays true to the principles.

Paul Adams

If you have a chance to see these videos as a doctor, definitely take advantage of it. It will help you out to become a much better Upper Cervical doctor and chiropractor in general.  It is going to help to stabilize that atlas so much more.
