Headache Assessment
A Functional Medicine Approach
Presented by Rehab Connections
Description
Headaches and migraine are complex yet simple and unique yet common.
A functional medicine approach involves looking for root causes and
addressing the whole person, not just symptoms so this new virtual
workshop emphasizes ongoing examination and evaluation.
Through lecture, Q&A, and small group activities, learn how to help
identify precipitating factors and triggers to enable patients and
clients to prevent and manage recurrent headaches. Patient and client
examples will be interspersed throughout this workshop including specific
examination items, questionnaires, checklists, journals, and more.
