Traumatic Brain Injury

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can be brought on by a severe shock or impact to the head or body. Traumatic brain damage can result from anything that pierces the skull and enters the brain. However, keep in mind that not every severe head injury will result in traumatic brain injury. Certain types of TBI can result in short-term or temporary issues that impact a person’s ability to think, act, understand, move, communicate, and do other typical brain functions. While moderate TBI can render you unconscious for a longer period of time and cause confusion that can linger for weeks, mild TBI can cause dizziness that lasts for a few seconds to minutes. On the other hand, TBI can, regrettably, even result in death in more severe cases.

Traumatic Brain Injury: What Causes It?

TBIs are most frequently acquired from

• Fall
• Firearm-related injury
• Motor vehicle crash
• Assault

In the meantime, traumatic injuries can cause both physical and emotional changes, and the symptoms of brain damage can differ. Headaches, balance problems, visual problems, seizures, confusion, speech problems, difficulty focusing, reasoning, etc. are a few of these.

Our Method

It’s possible that traumatic brain injuries are not emergencies. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can be localized (focal injury) or broad (diffuse injury). We do a comprehensive evaluation of the patient’s medical history, family history, symptoms, and examination results. Tests like MRIs and CT scans can assist in making the right diagnosis. After that, we develop a customized treatment plan to assist the patient in getting better and getting back to their regular activities. Throughout the patient’s recuperation and beyond, our medical professionals will offer support and care. When we treat patients, we constantly consider what is best for them.
