TBI REHAB

Image

If you have been diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury (TBI), commonly referred to as a concussion, it can be quite disheartening to deal with persistent symptoms like headaches, dizziness, nausea, insomnia, and irritability, among other issues. It's crucial to recognize that, much like physical injuries to muscles or joints, most symptoms of brain injuries can improve through targeted rehabilitation. 

Your brain has the capacity to heal and even if you’re not able to regain 100%  of the function you had before your injury, significant progress is  possible with most patients we see in our facilities.

Vagus Nerve Stimulation

 The  vagus nerve is stimulated with a gentle microcurrent to a part of the  ear called the tragus. Stimulating this nerve is particularly beneficial  with headaches, as well as other TBI symptoms.

Neurofeedback

 This  amazing therapy is designed to retrain or reorganize brain waves to  help facilitate healing by utilizing visual or auditory stimuli. The  treatment works by gently training your brain waves to function at their  best.

Alpha Stim

 This  technology uses small clips on the earlobes to increase alpha waves to  the brain. These are the brain waves that are produced in deep thought  and restful states. Alpha stim has been shown to be very effective with  symptoms of brain injury as well as anxiety and post-traumatic stress  disorder.

Sensory Motor Integration

 A  common problem associated with TBI is a “disconnect” between the brain  and the rest of the body. Sensory-motor integration utilizes devices  that light up in different colors and patterns to help train the brain  to visually process information and react more efficiently.

Exercise with Oxygen

 Concentrated  oxygen is administered while engaging in light aerobic exercise or  other activity. By increasing the levels of oxygen to the brain, studies  have found that this treatment can be beneficial for recovery from TBI.

Oculomotor Rehabilitation

When  the brain has been injured, it often affects how the eyes work, and  this is why dizziness, nausea, blurred/double vision, and balance  problems can occur. Oculomotor exercises help to “reconnect” the eye  movements to the brain and help with these symptoms.

Cognitive Rehabilitation

 The  brain can be exercised like a muscle, and after a brain injury, this  becomes even more important. We utilize a computerized “brain exercise”  software that is both challenging and fun while helping to improve  memory, verbal recall, and other areas often affected by TBI.

Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback

 Heart  rate variability (HRV) is a measure of how well your autonomic nervous  system responds to stress, and this is often altered following brain  injury. HRV biofeedback is a therapy during which patients are connected  to a sensory on your finger that is connected to a computer program  that teaches you over time to control your heart rate variability. This  therapy is particularly beneficial for patients experiencing high levels  of stress, difficulty sleeping, anxiety, and other symptoms that occur  when the autonomic nervous system is not functioning optimally.

Infrared Photobiomodulation

 Low-level  infrared light stimulates blood flow to the outer portions of the brain  and can help accelerate brain healing. This safe and gentle therapy can  be very effective at helping get your brain back on the road to  recovery, as studies have demonstrated increased blood flow can be  therapeutic for the brain.
