Most people will report a headache at some point in their life.   While there are many types of headache conditions, cervicogenic headaches are readily treated in therapy.  This course will describe and define cervicogenic headache to include the patho-physiology and related anatomy as well as classification approaches.  Also, diagnosis and a broad array of possible treatment interventions will be covered.  Upon the conclusion of this webinar the participant will understand classification, appropriate diagnosis and multiple treatment options which will improve patient outcomes.

 Level of Instruction:  Advanced
