What You'll Learn:

  • A simplified differential diagnosis framework: mechanical, radicular, and central categories

  • Red flags and vertebral artery screening for safe manipulation

  • C2–C3 dysfunction and its link to cervicogenic headaches

  • Pattern recognition in range of motion loss (rotation vs side-bending)

  • When to refer for imaging—and what findings actually matter

  • Targeted manual therapy techniques for upper and lower cervical dysfunction

  • Advanced cervical stabilization strategies beyond chin tucks

Why It Matters:

The cervical spine is complex, vulnerable, and unforgiving when mismanaged. This course gives you:

  • Tools to differentiate central vs peripheral issues

  • Diagnostic confidence when imaging is ambiguous

  • Treatment paths that match your diagnosis

  • Safer, smarter manual therapy setups

At Ignite, we believe that clinical clarity creates clinical freedom.
