Orthopedic Testing & Strategies: TMJ & Neck Pain

Dr. David Wells, with dual degrees in chiropractic and acupuncture, shares his wealth of orthopedic experience in this course to advance the clinical skills of practitioners to diagnose and treat temporomandibular joint disorders, headache, neck pain, cervical disc rupture, cervical sprain, cervical-brachial, thoracic outlet, and related pain syndromes using Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), biomedical testing (orthopedic, neurological, laboratory, imaging and physical exam techniques), and nutrition. Over 60% of patients seek treatment from health care practitioners because the patient is in pain. Knowing how to accurately diagnose these conditions is essential. To that end, additional topics that will be covered include understanding x-ray findings and the pathophysiology of these conditions.

Upon completion of this course, practitioners will:

• Be able to utilize orthopedic and neurological examinations to arrive at differential diagnoses for head and neck disorders.
• Understand the function anatomy of the head and neck and the mechanisms of orthopedic injury.
• Understand how to prescribe exercise and ergonomic modification to enhance healing and prevent injury.
