What Is a Brain Injury?

Brain injuries are complex neurological conditions that occur either from external trauma or internal medical events. Depending on the severity, they can affect memory, behavior, movement, and overall quality of life.

Two Primary Categories:

  • Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI): Caused by blows to the head, falls, or car accidents
  • Non-Traumatic Brain Injury: Resulting from strokes, tumors, infections, or aneurysms

Each patient’s condition is unique, which is why we personalize every aspect of diagnosis, treatment, and recovery at NYSI Manhattan.

Recognizing Brain Injury Symptoms

Some symptoms emerge right away, while others appear gradually. If you or a loved one are experiencing the following, it’s essential to seek expert evaluation:

  • Ongoing or worsening headaches
  • Dizziness, nausea, or blurred vision
  • Confusion, memory loss, or slurred speech
  • Changes in mood, sleep, or behavior
  • Numbness, weakness, or coordination issues
  • Loss of consciousness or seizures

At NYSI Manhattan, we use state-of-the-art imaging—MRI, CT, and brain mapping technologies—to evaluate brain function and structure with precision.

  • Neurological monitoring and observation
  • Anti-inflammatory or neuroprotective medications
  • Vestibular and cognitive rehabilitation

Surgical Treatments
