About the Event

One in six Americans suffer from cervicogenic headaches with neck pain. These common tension type headaches (TTH) are a primary reason people visit their health care provider. With the excessive reliance on medication and its undesirable side effects, there is a need to address the cause, not just cover up the symptoms. Explore the etiology of cervicogenic head and neck pain and identify advanced interventions to effectively manage disability and pain associated with TTH. Discover how to incorporate multimodal interventions including manual therapies, relaxation therapy, mindfulness, and complementary approaches to prevent and manage TTH. Experience interventions to rapidly address TTH and related cervical pain with clinically oriented and practical insights into creating a more comfortable lifestyle for people with TTH. Learn with enriching video demonstrations about natural interventions with positional release, myofascial release, craniosacral therapy, eye muscle energy, acupressure and mindful techniques clinicians can incorporate immediately for measurable results clients will rave about.

Live Event This is a live online event. It will be conducted via Zoom Webinar.
