Understanding Brain Injuries

Brain injuries can be the result of external trauma or internal events. Their effects range widely—impacting memory, movement, speech, and daily function. Two Main Categories:

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI): Caused by sudden impacts—falls, accidents, sports injuries, or assault.
Non-Traumatic Brain Injury: Linked to strokes, tumors, infections, aneurysms, or oxygen deprivation.

Each case is unique, and at NYSI, we tailor diagnosis and treatment plans to support your individual recovery journey.

Recognizing Brain Injury Symptoms

Timely diagnosis can improve outcomes. If you or someone you care about is experiencing the following symptoms, professional evaluation is essential:

Persistent or worsening headaches
Dizziness, nausea, or visual disturbances
Confusion, memory issues, or slurred speech
Sleep disruption or mood changes
Loss of coordination, balance, or strength
Seizures or loss of consciousness

At NYSI, we use state-of-the-art imaging—including MRI, CT, and functional brain mapping—to assess brain structure and function with unmatched precision.

Treatment Options for Brain Injury

We offer a fully integrated model of care, combining advanced neurosurgical treatment with non-surgical rehabilitation and long-term support.

Non-Surgical Management

Close neurological monitoring
Medications to reduce inflammation or support recovery
Cognitive and vestibular therapy
Physical and occupational therapy
Pain management and functional retraining

Neurosurgical Interventions

When surgery is necessary to relieve pressure or correct complications, our board-certified neurosurgeons may recommend:

Craniotomy for decompression or hematoma evacuation
Burr hole drainage for subdural hematomas
Endovascular treatments (e.g., aneurysm coiling or clipping)
VP shunt placement for hydrocephalus
Tumor resection to alleviate neurological symptoms

Whenever possible, we prioritize minimally invasive techniques to reduce recovery time and preserve brain function.
