Clinical Relevance of Cranial Nerve Examination

(1hr 45min)

Cranial nerve examination is not just for your headache patients or where you suspect a weird neurological pathology. Our cranial nerves provide a huge amount of information about our patients' overall neurological health. Jake presents a great insight into how to examine each nerve and the clinical relevance for our every day patients. Get confidence in a neurological examination a lot of us undervalue.

Jake Cooke

Hi, I am Jake Cooke I graduated from AECC in 2009 and have since, through my interest in neurology and its clinical applications, become one of the few British chiropractors to pass the American Chiropractic Neurology Board exams. Following on from that, I have just completed my Masters in MSK neuroscience with a focus on chronic pain and dizziness. I have taught in various settings including for the BCA, RCC, and ECU on assessing movement, balance, posture and pain using a neurological approach. My goal continues to be to show how neurology can be easily learnt, understood and used in daily practice with every patient, not just the special cases. The Learning Collective is the ideal opportunity for me to do this.
