A Concussion Is Nothing To Laugh About.

A Traumatic Head Injury, or Concussion, is a serious condition. Common symptoms include headaches, dizziness, nausea, blurred vision, balance problems, forgetfulness, irritability, anxiety, and a variety of other symptoms.

You have been diagnosed by your medical provider with a traumatic brain injury (TBI), otherwise known as a concussion. Common symptoms include headaches, dizziness, nausea, blurred vision, balance problems, forgetfulness, irritability, anxiety, and a variety of other symptoms.

It is important to remember that the symptoms of most brain injuries can be improved with specific rehabilitation, just like injuries to muscles or joints. During your TBI rehab if you experience any increases in dizziness, nausea, heart rate, or feelings of confusion or irritability, let our providers or staff know immediately. While most patients will not experience these types of side effects, when they do occur it is important to not be alarmed, as it simply means we need to take things a bit more slowly.

Treatment Options

The following TBI rehab therapies have been prescribed as a part of your treatment protocol:

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.

Infrared Light Therapy

Low level infrared light stimulates blood flow to the outer portions of the brain, and can help accelerate brain healing.

Exercise with Oxygen

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

Vagus Nerve Stimulation

The vagus nerve is stimulated with 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.

Cognitive Rehabilitation

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

HRV 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 therapy connects a sensor to the finger that helps normalize HRV.
