At HeadacheAway-MD, our Fellowship trained concussion expert, Dr. Harjasleen Walia, offers telemedicine and in-office evaluations and treatment for concussions. Any event causing whiplash, shaking, or jolting of the head can result in significant brain injury. Loss of consciousness is not necessary.
Dr. Walia utilizes a comprehensive Neurological approach to evaluate all aspects of Post-concussive syndrome and Post-traumatic headache. She has been published in Concussion research and is sought out by other Neurologists, Pain specialists and Sports Medicine specialists for expert opinion. In addition Dr. Walia sees patients suffering from Personal Injury cases.
After a concussion proper evaluation by a Headache or Concussion specialist is vital to healing. It is important to gain baseline and repeat assessments and imaging tests to evaluate your brain injury.
Concussion is not routinely taught in Neurology residency so an expert consultation with a fellowship trained Headache sub-specialist is required to formulate a customized treatment plan to promote healing and prevent long-term complications.
If you suspect that you may have had a concussion, schedule an appointment by calling HeadacheAway-MD.
