Concussion / TBI Treatment Programs
in Chandler, Gilbert, Phoenix, AZ
Don't Wait. Treatment is crucial.
Concussions and Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs) can have a profound impact on your life, affecting cognitive, physical, and emotional well-being. If you (or someone you know) survived a concussion or TBI and now need treatment in the Chandler/Gilbert area, we can help. But it is important not to wait. Recognizing the signs and symptoms, and seeking timely and appropriate treatment, is crucial for optimal recovery.
What Exactly Is a Concussion / Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)?
A concussion is a traumatic brain injury (TBI) resulting from a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or body that causes the brain to move inside the skull rapidly. This sudden movement can stretch and damage brain cells and create chemical changes within the brain. While often considered a “mild” TBI, a concussion can lead to a range of temporary symptoms affecting cognitive, physical, and emotional function and requires careful monitoring and appropriate management to ensure proper healing.
Why It's Critical to Start Concussion / TBI Treatment as Soon as Possible
As you watch the short video here of the brain smashing against the skull, the wave-like movements extend deep into the brain, wreaking havoc on the deep nuclei of the brain and the brainstem, where all of your vital areas reside. Prompt treatment of concussions and TBIs is crucial for several key reasons, primarily to minimize the potential for further complications and to optimize the recovery process.
Here's Why
Preventing Further Brain Damage
A head injury can worsen over time if left untreated, leading to more severe cognitive and neurological issues. The initial impact of a concussion or TBI can trigger a cascade of secondary events, such as brain swelling, bleeding, and increased intracranial pressure. These secondary injuries can be more damaging than the initial impact itself. Early concussion or TBI evaluations allow medical professionals to monitor and manage these complications, preventing them from worsening.
Reducing Long-Term Effects of TBI and Concussion with Treatment
Prompt treatment and rehabilitation for a concussion or TBI can significantly reduce the risk of long-term cognitive, physical, and emotional impairments. Early intervention can help the brain begin the healing process and adapt to the injury, promoting better recovery outcomes.
Avoiding "Second Impact Syndrome"
Especially in the case of concussions, receiving a second impact before the brain has healed can lead to a severe and potentially fatal condition known as "second impact syndrome." Early diagnosis and adherence to concussion or TBI rest protocols help the brain heal faster and are vital to preventing "second impact syndrome."
Managing Symptoms for TBI and Concussion
Unfortunately, life doesn't stop when you suffer an injury. Early treatment for concussion or TBI can help manage symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, nausea, and cognitive difficulties, improving the patient's comfort and quality of life while recovering.
Improving TBI and Concussion Recovery
Immediate medical attention after a suspected concussion or TBI is essential to safeguard the brain, minimize potential complications, and maximize the chances of a full and successful recovery. Early treatment also helps to facilitate a faster recovery.
