He went on to acquire a doctorate in physical therapy from the University of Mississippi. More recently, Eric achieved certification in manual therapy of the complete spine through IAOM-US in conjunction with his acquisition of a doctorate of science degree through the Health Sciences Center at Texas Tech University. He currently maintains an extensive outpatient practice while serving as director at an orthopedic physical therapy clinic in Covington, Louisiana. In addition, Eric is an adjunct faculty member who regularly lectures for both the physical therapy and dental schools within both the LSU and Emory health science systems. -Course Attendee Upper Cervical Spine and TMJ Current Concepts in Craniomandibular Pain: Instructor Eric Cedor, PT, DPT, ScD, COMT Tuition and Hours 13 Hours, 1.3 CEUs
