The Course: Most concussions resolve within a few weeks, yet others experience persistent symptoms. A concomitant injury to the cervical spine could cause symptoms that could mimic or amplify those seen in concussion and in these cases management of the cervical spine component would be indicated. This course will focus on the identification and treatment of those ‘concussion-type’ symptoms, both cervicogenic headache and cervicogenic dizziness. Manual therapy techniques will be reviewed and practised during lab time. Therapeutic exercise specifically targeted at these two dysfunctions will be introduced and practised. These interventions are also best practice for non-concussed patients with cervicogenic headache & dizziness.
