Understanding Brain Injuries

Brain injuries can occur from external trauma or internal medical events and can impact cognitive, physical, and emotional function. At NYSI West Orange, we treat two main categories:

Non-Traumatic Brain Injuries: Resulting from stroke, brain tumors, infections, or oxygen deprivation.

Because brain injuries vary significantly in severity and symptoms, our team tailors care to your specific diagnosis, needs, and goals.
