Join Steven Goldstein in a Polyvagal approach to the Head, Neck and Jaw: Associated Pain with TMJ/TMD – Whiplash and  Cervicogenic Headaches.
This course moves beyond outdated biomechanical models to examine how neuroinflammation, neurosomatic processes, and autonomic regulation shape complex regional pain presentations. Participants will develop a deeper understanding of how TMJ/TMD, whiplash, and cervicogenic headaches converge and diverge, and how these relationships inform clinical decision-making.

You will learn sensitive myofascial applications, guided by both myofascial line orientation and structure-specific strategies, with extensive hands-on practice.

The course integrates mainstream and emerging perspectives, supporting critical clinical reasoning rather than rigid protocols.

Key topics include:

  • TMJ/TMD in relation to whiplash and cervicogenic headache patterns

  • Neuroinflammatory and neurosomatic mechanisms underlying whiplash

  • Cervico-mandibular motion coupling

  • Disc displacement with and without reduction

  • Cranial base involvement and cranial nerve considerations

  • Targeted fascial, joint, and muscular applications

This is a clinically rich immersion into complexity, designed for practitioners seeking to refine their understanding of head, neck, and jaw pain through an integrative, nervous-system-informed lens.

We invite you to join us for two days of exploration, challenge, and clinical integration.
