Post-Concussion Headache
Join us for a Webinar on May 22

Dr. Roger Cady will be answering questions regarding post-concussion headache.

Doctor Cady is Director of the Headache Care Center, Director of Clinvest, and Founder of Primary Care Network, as well as CEO of Banyan Group Inc., all located in Springfield, Missouri.  He has been instrumental in developing the early intervention paradigm for treatment of acute migraine and defining “sinus headache” as a common clinical presentation of migraine.  He has authored/co-authored over 250 peer-reviewed journal articles and has written and contributed to numerous books, chapters and abstracts as well as countless lectures and seminars around the world on headache, migraine and other chronic disorders. He has been and continues to be the principal investigator in multi-center studies on migraine, post-traumatic headache and other pain disorders.

Due to time constraints and the number of participants submitting questions, we may not be able to answer all of the questions.  If we are not able to address your question specifically, it is most likely due to another participant posting a similar question.  We ask that you understand that similar questions will be answered in a broader sense.  Certain questions regarding medication dosage may not be addressed due to the lack of medical history of the participant.    

Please consultant your physician before implementing any of the suggestions discussed within the chat session.
