    This webinar will provide participants with an Evidence Based Approach to the evaluation and treatment of headache patients. It will include a comprehensive presentation on the most updated findings related to sensory and motor impairments of the cervical spine and TMJ and how they are clinically relevant for head pain.
Current evidence has shown the role of musculoskeletal impairments in the neck and TMJ which has set the stage for a multisystem approach of evaluation, treatment and management of headache patients.
Come and find out why manual therapy works in the long run, integrating their inputs into the central nervous system.
