TELL ME MOREConcussions - 5 Reasons for Persistent Dizziness (1 hour online course).
As a busy clinician do you find that treating concussions can be a challenge at times, especially if dizziness is involved? If so, you are not alone. Research has found that dizziness after a concussion is the second most common symptom, after headaches, and is often associated with prolonged recovery.
Should we, therefore, conclude that a prolonged recovery is the natural history of a concussion which includes dizziness and set our expectations accordingly? Or are there factors that we can impact?
In this course, we will cover 5 common reasons why patients, including athletes, have persistent dizziness after a concussion and strategies that we can use to improve our outcomes.

- You attended a course, but as it has been a while and you do not see a lot of vestibular patients you have some gaps in trying to remember what you learned.
- You are dabbling in the area of vestibular therapy.
