Education
Treatment
This 3 day forum will address the cervical spines’ involvement in the production of headaches, migraines, TMJ & oral-facial pain, as well as, unexplainable and unrespon-
sive tooth pain, tinnitus/ear fullness, sinus pressure,
visual disturbances, dizziness, vestibular problems,
nausea, radiculopathy, and other perplexing symptom-
ology.  Clinical spine experts from around the country
come together to present and discuss their use of cervi-
cal biomechanical therapy in treating these patients.  The
growing body of medical research supporting the cervi-
cal spines’ ability to produce such symptoms will be
presented.  Actual head and facial pain patients will be
examined and treated in front of the audience.

Symposium Social Events
Last years inaugural symposium was a huge success with 93% of the attendees saying they would return next year.  A large part of that success included the opportunity to network and socialize with spine practitioners and medical professionals from more than 25 states.  To enhance the symposiums’ social occasions, we have expanded to 3 days and moved our venue to the upscale Troy Marriott Hotel.  This new location provides us with a spacious state-of-the-art conference room, free shuttle service to the Somerset Collection (Somerset Mall) and a variety of excellent restaurants, all within a 1 mile radius.

We hope you will consider joining your speakers and colleagues for the following social events:

Friday Night:  The Troy Marriott has reserved a private reception and dining area just behind the main bar for our 5:30-7:00 Cocktail Party and 7:00 pm dinner.  To expedite service, the hotel restaurant will provide a full service, limited menu.
Saturday Afternoon:  We adjourn at 1:00 pm to head 1 mile west to the only luxury shopping destination between Chicago and the East Coast, the Somerset Collection.
With over 180 stores and 15 restaurants, this is an afternoon you won’t want to miss.  An architectural wonder, this mall is anchored by the nations finest retailers including Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Macy’s, Gucci, & Tiffany’s.  The hotel provides free shuttle service to the mall and area restaurants.
Saturday Night:  You could easily loose track of the time at Somerset so plan on leaving around 5:30 pm to head back the 1 mile east toward our hotel but keep going 0.3 miles past the hotel to our evening restaurant destination, Bahama Breeze.  This casual, Caribbean atmosphere is a sure way to relax.  We have reserved the restaurant’s semi-enclosed outdoor deck with cozy fireplace and live music for 6:00 pm.
