About The Course
The term post-traumatic headache just means that the headache started or got worse as a result of a trauma. The term doesn’t actually tell us anything about the characteristics of the headache, and in order to provide treatment, it’s essential to understand the clinical characteristics. Knowing the differences between the different headache types that fall into the category of post-traumatic headache means that you can develop treatment plans to manage these headaches more effectively.
This recorded Ask Me Anything webinar with Meaghan Adams, is an opportunity to have an in-depth look at post-traumatic headaches. We’ll talk about the connection between headache and trauma, the types of headache that can be caused or exacerbated by traumatic injuries, how to differentiate between headache types, and how to treat patients with the various presentations of post-traumatic headache in your own practice. The concepts covered in this course are intended for immediate use in a clinical setting.
Post-traumatic headache is a complex condition, affecting all aspects of a treatment plan for a patient who experiences it. This course will allow you to better understand post-traumatic headaches and as a result, will transform the way you treat it.
This is the recording form a Ask Me Anything Webinar with Meaghan Adams on December 04, 2019.
In This Online Healthcare Course, You Will Learn:
- Rehab principles for acute vs. persistent post-concussion symptoms.
- Patient education strategies: How can we talk about concussion without catastrophizing?

- Concussions are big business, and patients ask questions about different products they've seen on the news or in the media to resolve symptoms or prevent concussions. What does the research say about these?
