Not all headaches are migraines, & not all migraines are only migraines. Proper screening & evaluation can determine the difference. The key is understanding the underlying mechanisms and interactions within your patients body! #headaches #ptcanhelp! acpseminars.com/blog

Great day 2 of DN1: evidence based semi-standardised treatments for cervicogenic headaches and neck pain. Combine this with upper cervical HVLAT and headaches don't stand a chance! @DrDunning @RayButtsDPTPhD
