1. Red Flag Screening for CNS Symptoms

The upper cervical spine and craniomandibular area are home to a variety of structures critical for life. As such, the burden to properly and thoroughly screen patients with complaints in this region is crucial. This chapter reviews red flag screening as part of a patient case.

2. TMJ Biomechanics

TMJ kinematics and biomechanics are briefly reviewed in this chapter.

3. Planning for the Physical Exam

Evidence-informed examination is an efficient mechanism to proper client management for patients with upper cervical and TMJ dysfunction. Best evidence is presented to plan the physical exam as part of a patient case.

4. Interventions

Evidence for interventions for upper cervical and TMD are reviewed as part of a patient case.
