Manual Treatments for Whiplash, TMJD and Headaches
Presented by Dr. Carrie Ebling, LMT
March 24-25 2018, 8a.m. – 8p.m. both days
University of Western States – Anatomy Lab
16 hours CEU
This course will provide the manual therapist with a deeper understanding of the complex anatomy of the upper cervical spine and the Temporomandibular joint through lecture and viewing prosected cadavers in the gross anatomy lab.
Hands-on treatment of these areas will focus on Whiplash and TMJD (including intra-oral work) utilizing myofascial techniques, active and passive pin and stretch as well as muscle energy techniques that are also applicable to tension headaches and general neck complaints.
The techniques are ideal for both Chiropractors and Massage Therapists as they can either stand alone or be incorporated into longer sessions.
