Overview

Cervicogenic Dizziness

Cervicogenic dizziness (CGD) is a clinical syndrome characterized by the presence of dizziness and associated neck pain. Although there have been advancements in regards of clinical tests, CGD remains a challenging diagnosis of exclusion. Especially given that dizziness and neck pain are common symptoms with complex and multifactorial etiologies.


It can be difficult for healthcare professionals to differentiate CGD from other vestibular, medical, and vascular disorders that cause dizziness. It requires a high level of skill and a thorough understanding of the proper tests and measures to accurately rule in or out competing diagnoses.


Learning Outcomes
  • Understand basic concepts and etiopathological mechanisms of CGD
  • Learn about other conditions causing dizziness for the purpose of differential diagnoses
  • Learn the proper tests and measures to accurately rule in or out competing diagnoses
  • Acquire the skills to perform the necessary specialized examination
  • Learn the appropriate treatment for CGD

Course Details
Cervicogenic Dizziness is a 1-day CPD workshop suited to osteopathy, physiotherapy and chiropractic which includes theoretical and practical components. A rudimentary understanding of vestibular conditions is encouraged but not a prerequisite to attend.


The course will run from 9AM to 5PM and places are limited to 24 attendees. Morning and afternoon tea are provided. E-notes will be made available for you to print if you require as well as an e-certificate of attendance for your CPD records. The course can be counted as 6 hours CPD.
