COURSE DESCRIPTION
Headaches are very prevalent and marred with a complicated hierarchy of classification. Current best-evidence classifies headaches as cervicogenic, tension-type or migraine, with various sub-classifications. Unbeknownst to many, physical therapists are ideally suited to treat a large proportion of patients struggling with headaches. To develop an updated working knowledge of headaches, clinicians need an update in pain science. Various neurophysiological processes underlie the development, maintenance and treatment of headaches, including the relay function of the trigeminal cervical nucleus, development of hyperalgesia and allodynia, photo and phono phobia, referred pain, etc. The examination portion of the lecture will discuss headache classifications, identifying subjective clusters to classify headaches and using this information to develop a comprehensive physical examination. Tests and treatments discussed include pain neuroscience education, graded motor imagery, sensory discrimination, neurodynamics, manual therapy, soft tissue treatment, trigger point therapy, sensorimotor retraining and more.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Develop a clinical knowledge of the classification of the 3 primary headache categories
- Recognize the current clinical signs and symptoms associated with cervicogenic, tension-type and migraine headaches
- View headaches from a pain science perspective, including common presentations, clinical findings and treatments
- Be updated on the latest evidence based approaches for managing patients with headaches
- Apply the information from the educational session into clinical practice
EACH REGISTRANT WILL RECEIVE A CERTIFICATE FOR 3.5 CONTACT HOURS
