TREATMENT FOR CONCUSSIONS & TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURIES
A concussion or mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI) is often caused by a sudden direct blow or bump to the head, which causes a temporary loss of neural activity. If you or a loved one has suffered a concussion or traumatic brain injury, call Hope Neurological & Medical Services today. Traumatic brain injuries can be life-threatening if not cared for properly and quickly. TBI can also have a lasting effect without treatment.

TREATMENTS WE PROVIDE
Various treatments can be considered when dealing with a traumatic brain injury, depending on the severity of the case. Our physicians will provide the options and recommendations for the best path.
Medications – sometimes, the easiest treatment is to put someone on medication that will target and treat the symptoms of TBI, such as pain relievers, anti-seizure medications, and diuretics.
Rehabilitation Therapy – a brain injury can cause physical and cognitive impairments that make going to a normal life a little more difficult. Rehab will assist with getting the movement, speech, and other functions back.
Assistive Devices – depending on the severity of your brain injury case, you might require assistance such as a wheelchair, walker, and hearing aids to help.
Surgery is a last resort if our physicians find blood clots; we need to relieve pressure off the brain or repair a fractured skull.
Whichever the case may be, our clinic will help provide the best course of action. Our clinic has neurologists, neurosurgeons, a rehab center, and additional healthcare providers that will take on your traumatic brain injury case.
