In this session, Dr. Thistle will translate current research into practical clinical guidance on cervical spine involvement in common headaches. He’ll discuss cervicogenic headache, tension-type headache, and migraine, examining how the cervical spine may contribute to each presentation. Participants will leave with a practical framework for taking a focused history, examining the cervical spine, interpreting their findings, and applying those findings to treatment planning and patient education.
I am a chiropractor, entrepreneur, educator, international conference speaker, medicolegal consultant, knowledge transfer and thought leader in chiropractic.
My aim has always been to deliver rational, clinically relevant information in multiple formats to suit the needs of busy chiropractors and other musculoskeletal experts!
My goal is to help practicing clinicians achieve theirs!
In 1996, I obtained my bachelor’s degree in kinesiology from McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Then I attended the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College (CMCC) in Toronto, graduating magna cum laude with clinic honours in 2004. I also obtained my medical acupuncture qualification from McMaster University in 2004.
During my chiropractic education, I became interested in research, specifically how research could inform safe and effective chiropractic care. As a student, I spent hours reading the latest research papers and began writing short summaries and sharing them with my classmates (and then eventually most of the students and faculty at CMCC!) …this was a sign of things to come!
