The 2nd course in the Concussion Treatment Series is now available!
This course is approved for 4 NCCAOM PDA points and 4 CAB CEUs.
Part 1 of the Concussion Treatment Series focused on post-traumatic headaches, which are the most common symptom following a concussion.
Part 2 of the Concussion Treatment Series will benefit anyone treating whiplash and neck injuries as well as concussions and TBI. We cover a wide array of symptoms (beyond pain) that can occur as a result of trauma to the neck. The course provides functional bedside examination techniques useful in determining cervical involvement in the patient’s symptoms of dizziness, nausea, headaches, and blurry vision. Key acupuncture points for treating traumatic neck injuries will be provided. Demonstration videos on needling, kinesiotaping, and cervical proprioceptive retraining will be provided. Case studies will be presented that highlight the use of neurological testing and treatment strategies for post-traumatic headaches and neck injuries.
This 4-HR course covers:
- The physiology of sensory integration of the head and neck within the central nervous system
