research interests and skills

    My PhD is an examination of the headache features and healthcare needs of chiropractic headache patients in relation to current approaches to headache management provided by chiropractors from the perspective of public health and health services. My other research projects have included examination of factors that influence patient and practitioner decision-making regarding the management of neck pain, low back pain and headache disorders
