Just in case you couldn’t make it to this live event at the clinic, I recorded the entire workshop!

I start things off by talking about the 4 structures that can cause neck pain and headaches…

And then we move on to the top 3 reasons these structures get aggravated.

After that, I discuss successful treatment options (for lasting pain relief).
