Event Details

Concussions can result from falls, car accidents, or sports injuries - and the effects aren’t always immediate. This presentation will explain what a concussion is, what symptoms can look like, and why most conventional advice on concussion recovery is outdated. You'll also learn what to watch for, when to seek further evaluation, and the best modern approaches to recovery.

This seminar is presented by Jimmy Pang, a Doctor of Physical Therapy who specializes in the treatment of dizziness, vertigo, and headaches. His passion is largely based on his lived experience of having chronic migraines. It is his mission to spread awareness about vestibular and headache disorders so that patients get the visibility they deserve.
