Ask Me Anything - Headaches and Concussions Part 2

About The Course

Meaghan Adams joined us for a one hour ask me anything style webinar where she answered questions from the audience including:

• When cognitive impairments are present, are there any outcome measures and/or exercises that we can use as physiotherapists to help? 
• Have you ever encountered patients who only have specific positional issues (ex: head flexion)? Any suggestions apart from gradual exposure therapy?
• How is technology (ex: virtual reality) being used in the rehabilitation of concussions?
• When do you refer patients to neurologists if you believe they are concussed?
• VOMS assessment vs application for treatment - the speed of doing these tests is fast. When they are used as part of the treatment strategy are they done at the same speed or slower but for longer periods of time?
• Do you see concussion headaches persist for more than one year? If so, what is your recommended approach for treatment?
• A lot of clients ask about cannabis for control of headaches. Have you seen any evidence for this?
• What is your opinion of dry needling for concussion symptoms?
• What is the best way to build a team around yourself? For example, you are a concussion trained physiotherapist and want to attract a family doctor, occupational therapist, psychologist, etc. into your practice.
• What advice do you have for managing tinnitus post-concussion?
