Michael Weintraub
Michael Weintraub is an American neurologist known for his pioneering research on a rare condition referred to as Beauty Parlor Stroke Syndrome (BPSS). He first identified this syndrome in 1993 when he observed that some of his patients developed severe stroke-related symptoms following hair washing at salons. His findings have raised awareness about the potential health risks associated with certain salon practices, particularly for individuals with specific health vulnerabilities. Dr. Weintraub's work highlights the importance of proper positioning during hair washing to prevent neck injuries and improve safety for salon clients.
