About course

Description: Headaches and pain in the face or jaw are prevalent medical concerns. The global classification recognizes over 300 distinct types of pain, but only two of them are explicitly linked to musculoskeletal issues, namely headaches and neck pain due to masticatory system disorders. Consequently, it is essential to seek the services of a proficient physiotherapist who possesses the necessary skills to screen and categorize patients with headaches or facial pain. This ability will ensure the delivery of safe and effective treatments to patients with such complaints.

Specifically, his research project was done in collaboration between the physiotherapy department (School of Health Sciences) and the School of Dental Medicine of the Faculty of Medicine, Tel Aviv University in Israel. In his prospective longitudinal study, Tzvika studied the relationship between specific temporomandibular disorders and impaired upper neck performance as well as the prevalence and incidence of cervicogenic headaches among patients with temporomandibular disorders. This work was published in leading journals in the physiotherapy ( Musculoskeletal Science and Practice )and dentistry ( European Journal of Oral Science) professions and Tzvika has presented his work at various conferences worldwide ( 2019 World Conference of Physical Therapy and  2017 Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Orofacial Pain ).
