The Royal College of Chiropractors – CPD Event – Cervicogenic Dizziness: Assessment and Treatment with Dr Jake Cooke

Event Outline

Dizziness is commonly encountered in general practice but diagnosis can be challenging, especially when the patient’s description of their dizziness can be vague. Cervicogenic dizziness (CGD) is relatively
uncommon compared to BPPV, vestibular migraine and other causes of dizziness. Therefore, it requires a high level of skill to be sure of an accurate diagnosis. Understanding the presentation of CGD is
the key to treatment. This webinar will describe the signs, symptoms and assessment of CGD. We’ll also explore treatment strategies that are effective for this condition, but also useful in the treatment of the more common causes of dizziness.

Learning Outcomes

• Understand why CGD is such a controversial diagnosis.
• Recognise the signs and symptoms of CGD.
• Understand which diagnostic tests to use.
• Be familiar with treatment strategies.
