Our Integrated Approach to Concussion and TBI Recovery
We believe in a multifaceted treatment plan that targets the various symptoms and underlying issues associated with concussion and TBI. Our services include
Vestibular Therapy
Many individuals with concussion or TBI experience dizziness, vertigo, balance issues, and difficulty with spatial awareness. Vestibular therapy is a specialized form of physical therapy that addresses these symptoms. Through targeted exercises, you can retrain your brain to properly process sensory information from your inner ear and eyes, improving balance, reducing dizziness, and enhancing gaze stability. This therapy is crucial for regaining confidence in movement and daily activities.
Infusion Therapy
After a brain injury, the brain can be in a state of increased inflammation and nutrient depletion. Infusion therapy allows for the direct delivery of essential nutrients, vitamins, and other compounds directly into your bloodstream. This bypasses the digestive system, ensuring maximum absorption and providing your brain with the vital building blocks it needs for healing and recovery. Depending on your specific needs, infusions may include:
- Vitamins & Minerals: Replenishing depleted nutrient stores vital for neurological function.
- Anti-inflammatory Agents: To reduce swelling and inflammation in the brain.
- Neuroprotective Compounds: To help protect brain cells from further damage.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)
HBOT involves breathing 100% pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber. This increased oxygen delivery to the brain can have profound benefits for TBI recovery. It helps to:
- Reduce brain swelling and inflammation.
- Promote the growth of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) and nerve cells (neurogenesis).
- Awaken "dormant" brain tissue that may be suffering from a lack of oxygen.
- Improve cognitive function, memory, and overall quality of life for many patients.
Vision Therapy
Visual disturbances are incredibly common after a concussion or TBI, affecting up to 90% of individuals. These can range from blurry vision and double vision to difficulty with eye tracking, focusing, and light sensitivity. Our vision therapy program, often part of neuro-optometric rehabilitation, involves a series of customized exercises and techniques designed to:
- Improve eye-brain communication.
- Retrain eye movements and focusing abilities.
- Address visual processing deficits.
- Reduce light sensitivity and visual discomfort.
- Enhance depth perception and visual coordination.
Headache Relief Treatment
Post-traumatic headaches are a frequent and often debilitating symptom of concussion and TBI. Our approach to headache relief is multifaceted, addressing the root causes and providing effective symptom management. This may include offering or recommending:
- Pharmacological Management: Carefully prescribed medications to reduce headache frequency and intensity.
- Physical Therapy: To address neck and upper back tension that can contribute to headaches.
- Lifestyle Modifications: Guidance on sleep hygiene, stress reduction, and dietary adjustments.
- Manual Therapies: Including therapeutic massage and other techniques to alleviate muscle tension.
- Advanced Therapies: When appropriate, options like nerve blocks or Botox injections may be considered for chronic, severe headaches.
