Course Description
Today’s upper cervical chiropractor needs more than standard X-ray analysis—modern practice demands a multidimensional understanding of structure, neurology, physiology, and imaging. This immersive seminar brings all of these elements together in one advanced, clinically focused weekend designed to elevate your certainty, sharpen your analysis, and expand your diagnostic capabilities.
You’ll begin with a deep dive into CBCT technology, learning how 3D imaging reveals anatomical variations and structural patterns that 2D films can’t capture. You’ll see real cases, review software-driven analysis tools, and learn how to process, analyze, and interpret CBCT studies with confidence. From anomalies to biomechanics, you’ll learn how 3D findings correlate with case history, exam findings, and clinical outcomes.
Next, you’ll explore the modern observational definition of vertebral subluxation—dysafferentation, dysponesis, dyskinesia, and dysautonomia—and discover how thermal imaging helps you assess neural regulation. You'll learn the science behind thermography, how thermal asymmetry relates to dysautonomia, and how thermal imaging has evolved within both chiropractic and mainstream healthcare. You’ll also be introduced to the latest technologies for functional patient assessment and how multidisciplinary providers evaluate the same physiologic patterns.
Building on imaging and physiology, the seminar then takes you into the world of craniocervical hemodynamics. You’ll study normal vascular flow at the atlas and axis, the role of CCJ alignment in altering arterial and venous circulation, and how these pathways interact with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics. You’ll review research linking altered hydrodynamics with changes in brain health—insights every upper cervical chiropractor must understand.
The radiology section delivers a powerful review of pathology, density analysis, bone disease categories, red-flag screening, and full-spine mensuration. You’ll learn how to apply foundational measurements at C0–C2 with greater precision, and how to customize cervical radiographic projections based on unique anatomy to improve clarity and diagnostic reliability. Through case-based comparisons, you’ll see how projection modification can dramatically enhance visualization and interpretation of the upper cervical segments.
By the end of the weekend, you’ll walk away with:
✔ a deeper understanding of CBCT, thermography, and functional assessment
✔ advanced knowledge of dysautonomia and subluxation physiology
✔ improved radiology interpretation skills
✔ greater confidence evaluating the craniocervical junction
✔ and the ability to apply all of this immediately in practice
This seminar is your opportunity to update your skillset with the imaging, neurology, and physiologic science that defines the modern upper cervical chiropractor.
Drs. Jamie Browning and Christine Theodossis
Jaime Browning, B.S., D.C., D.C.C.J.P., F.C.C.J.P
Professor, Sherman College of Chiropractic
Dr. Jaime Browning is a full professor and Technique Department chair at Sherman College of
Chiropractic. She holds a bachelor’s degree from Lander University (’02), her Doctor of Chiropractic
degree from Sherman College of Chiropractic (’09), an advanced certification in Knee Chest Upper
Cervical Specific (KCUCS) technique (2012), is a 2019 Diplomate in Craniocervical Junction
Procedures (DCCJP) confirmed by the International Chiropractic Association (ICA), and as of Fall
2022 obtained her Fellow in Craniocervical Junction Procedures (FCCJP). Since 2012, she has
resided as the chair of Sherman College’s Institutional Review Board (IRB) and oversees human
protections for the college’s research projects and is a member of the Converse University
Institutional Review Board (2022). Dr. Browning was named the research chair of the ICA’s Upper
Cervical Council from 2018-2022 and was awarded the Researcher of the Year in 2020. Browning is
also the recipient of the 2019 Spirit of Sherman College Award, the 2022 Sherman College
Chiropractor of the Year award, and the 2025 Sherman College Distinguished Service Award. She is
a past President of the Sherman College Alumni Association and is a member of ICA’s Upper
Cervical Council (UCC), the American Academy of Thermology (AAT), the FCLB Providers of
Approved Continuing Education (PACE) Committee, and joined the chiropractic research board of
USA Therm in 2025. Dr. Browning is also a member of the Editorial Board for the Journal of Upper
Cervical Chiropractic Research. In 2023, Dr. Browning was named the President of the ICA’s Upper
Cervical Council and the UCC Chiropractor of the Year in 2024 and the ICA Perseverance Award in
2025.
After practicing in Easley, SC, Dr. Browning found her passion for teaching students and new
graduates. She holds a part-time complex cervical care practice, is involved in ongoing research
specializing in CBCT and thermal imaging, speaks internationally, and teaches several courses
focused on the craniocervical junction and its impact on overall health, including Upper Cervical
Rationale, Neurofunctional Analysis, Upper Cervical Technique, and Advanced Knee Chest. Her
passions include biomechanics, skin temperature differential analysis, advanced imaging, and upper
cervical theoretical concepts. She is a former member of the Lander University Volleyball team,
former member of the United States Navy Reserve, and now spends her free time mentoring
Sherman students. She and her husband, Kyle, have three highly energetic kids: Addison, Fisher,
and General. Her family enjoys camping, trips to Disney, and Clemson sports.
Dr. Theodossis, a native of Asheville, NC, graduated from Sherman College in 2010.
She practiced in Canton, NC, before joining Sherman College in June 2013 as an
instructor. Now a full Professor, she has taught a variety of courses in her over 10 years
of teaching at Sherman College including anatomy lab, neuroanatomy I, toggle, Upper
Cervical Technique, radiology positioning and analysis, x-ray physics, Hard Tissue
Pathology, as well as Orthospinology and EPIC elective courses. Dr. Theodossis is an
advanced graduate of The Society of Chiropractic Orthospinology and Instructor
certified for Evolutionary Percussive Instrument Corrections. She earned her Diplomate
of Chiropractic Craniocervical Junction Procedures (DCCJP) in 2015, Fellow of
