About this online course, what you will learn, and the five guiding principles for treating the symptoms or co-occurring conditions that may accompany brain injury and post-traumatic stress.
Sleep problems are among the most common symptoms that can accompany service-related concussion. Learn how to identify and treat sleep problems associtated with TBI and PTSD.
Chronic pain is the most common presenting symptom for long-lasting effects of a service-related concussion. Learn about pain diagnosis, treatment and the three stages of pain recovery.
