Doctors will be taught simple, yet highly effective, disc-bulge reducing exercises and mobilizations that will help both them and their patients. Dr. Lesch will then apply these same straightforward principles toHEADACHESas well.Learn how to quickly determine if a patient’s headaches are cervicogenic in nature and how to move forward with a proven treatment strategy. The material presented in this seminar helps the busy chiropractor get right to the root of the patient’s problem and in a way that patients can easily understand.
