What you'll learn

Provided by an AOA-accredited Category 1 CME sponsor, this activity is eligible for AOA Category 1-A credit and includes instructor interaction; questions submitted by email will receive a response within 48 hours. Headache disorders are among the most common and disabling conditions in practice, and too many patients remain stuck in a cycle of breakthrough pain and escalating medication use. This course offers a practical, sales-forward, osteopathic approach that helps you deliver better results with a whole-person care model, not just another medication adjustment.

You will learn how to integrate osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) with behavioral medicine strategies, cognitive-behavioral interventions, and targeted lifestyle modifications to address the multifactorial drivers of headache disorders. The curriculum strengthens diagnostic confidence, sharpens structural assessment skills, and guides you in building individualized, evidence-based treatment plans that support long-term prevention and reduce medication overuse. With focused attention on neuromusculoskeletal dysfunction, autonomic imbalance, and biopsychosocial contributors to headache pathophysiology, this course equips you to improve patient outcomes while staying aligned with osteopathic principles and the realities of modern clinical care.
