Default Anyone have experience with University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Concussion?

I'm considering going to see UPMC Sports Medicine Concussion Program to see if I can get some relief from lingering PCS. Despite a slow and steady progress in recovery I still have frequent setbacks.

Their program looks comprehensive, which I like, with neuropsych/pt working together. Has anyone here gone through the program?

By the way, what I'm struggling with is sensitivity to bumps/shaking, computer screen time, anything that requires more intense visual focus.

We have had a few go to UPMC. Some have found it worthwhile. Others have found it marginal. The issue appears to be the symptoms they can help with.

As with any specialist, every experience is unique to that person. UPMC sure has devoted a lot to understanding concussion.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, that's the big question mark, do I think it will help me. I'm not sure, but it can't hurt.

I've done vestibular therapy already, but not a neuropsych or exertion testing.
