Understanding Brain Injuries

Brain injuries can result from both external trauma and internal medical events. These injuries vary in severity and can impact everything from memory and speech to motor skills and mood. We treat two major categories:

  • Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI): Often caused by falls, car accidents, sports injuries, or blunt force trauma
  • Non-Traumatic Brain Injury: Can result from strokes, tumors, infections, or neurological complications

No two brain injuries are the same, which is why our team creates custom treatment plans based on your symptoms, imaging results, and personal goals.
