My deepest thanks go to Dr. Fredrick R. Carrick for his passion towards neurology and making the subject fascinating to learn.
I would also like to thank my family, for without their support none of this would be possible.
This book is the end result of over two years of modules and four months of transcriptions and editing.
This book was compiled as a review of the major concepts of chiropractic neurology.
All major concepts should be mastered before sitting for the board.
When studying, review the subject and then describe the breadth, depth and application of each.
All answers should be in paragraph form and use diagrams when appropriate.
