Watch a lab demonstration with NAIOMT faculty instructor Terry Pratt showing modifications to the Halpike-Dix maneuver for BPPV. The majority of patients have sensitivity in cervical spine extension and rotation. This technique is taught in the C-516 Cervical Spine course.
The next course scheduled for New York is C-516 "Virtual" Cervical Spine, which will be taught online by Terry Pratt on January 24-25, 2021.
NAIOMT has made the decision to move all courses online for the remainder of 2020 and the period January to March 2021. Please note, this is not an irrevocable decision; we'll review the situation in mid-January. If things are better then, we'll be more than willing to make changes. However, at this point, it is critical that we provide our students, faculty, and course sites with certainty, and this decision allows us to achieve that in the safest manner possible, while also not compromising our effectiveness in the classroom.
