Course Description:

In addition to the physical examination of the masticatory system learned in Course One, the discerning therapist will need to perform a systems screen for common conditions that can cause orofacial pain but may require interprofessional referral. In Course Two, a systems screen will be presented along with information about the role of the cervical spine in orofacial pain. This information will be integrated with the examination of the masticatory system from Course One to describe the evaluation and diagnostic classification necessary to form the optimal plan of care and/or make an interprofessional referral.
