Most people will report headache at some point in their life. While there are many types of headache conditions, tension-type and cervicogenic headaches are readily treated in physical therapy. Nearly 78% of people will report a tension type headache at least once in their lives and when including cervicogenic headaches this number is undoubtedly higher. Currently there is considerable evidence that describes these conditions and offers potential treatment options. This course will describe and define both tension-type and cervicogenic headache. Clinically relevant patho-physiology, and related anatomy will be covered as well as current approaches to diagnosis. Finally, a broad array of possible treatment interventions will be reviewed which will include both exercise and manual therapy. Upon the conclusion of this course the participant will understand the underlying mechanisms of tension type and cevicogenic headache and appropriate diagnostic techniques as well as multiple treatment options.
