Management of Head, Neck and Thoracic Conditions

Cayuga Medical Center’s continuing education series has grown out of our well-respected Residency Program to meet the needs of clinicians looking for high-quality training offered here in the Northeastern US. Our teaching faculty includes physical therapists and athletic trainers with advanced training and subspecialty certification. Several of our instructors also teach in the physical therapy program at Ithaca College.

This course covers the clinical anatomy, biomechanics, pathology, examination, diagnosis, prognosis and management of conditions of the cervico-thoracic region, as well as cervicogenic headache and temporomandibular joint disorders. It will focus on integrating basic sciences and current best evidence into the clinical decision-making process with an emphasis on treatment by classification. A variety of intervention strategies focusing on manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, and patient education will be presented. Surgical procedures and their impact on management will be discussed. Instruction will include lectures, lab time, and independent reading.
