Post Traumatic Headache in Students

Athletes get concussions. In this webinar we will present an approach that balances the needs of the youngster in terms of allowing her brain to heal while getting that person ready to resume athletics and scholastics. We will also explore the issues of safe return to activities with a focus on an individual plan.
