Vertigo, dizziness and a general sense of ‘unsteadiness' are common, ranging from a daily nuisance to disabling and life-changing for our patients. Chiropractors can skillfully triage, assess and manage these conditions for most patients – but arriving at the correct diagnosis is paramount in formulating effective treatment strategies! This webinar will focus on differential diagnosis and relevant clinical testing procedures for your patients with dizziness or vertigo.

  • Review common differential diagnoses and clinical assessment strategies for vertigo and dizziness
  • Summarize our contemporary understanding of the assessment and diagnosis of cervicogenic dizziness
  • Review the HINTS examination for acute vestibular syndrome patients
