Come see us at Mid-Atlantic Brain and Neurological Rehabilitation. We work in the area of Neuropathy and also help people who have had brain injuries.
What Is a Concussion?
People get concussions when they get hit and their brains hit the inner walls of their skulls. This can cause anything from unconsciousness to headaches and dizziness. In terms of severity, concussions can range from being mild and easily healed to severe and the cause of life-changing symptoms. People may not even realize they have had a concussion or traumatic brain injury (TBI) until the symptoms show themselves later on.
How Do People Heal from a TBI?
Concussions and TBIs don't heal like other injuries. Most of the time, people need to refrain from any activities for a period of time and then get re-evaluated. In sports, this is often called concussion protocol. People have different reactions to concussions, which makes the condition difficult to treat. However, there is help out there.
How We Help at Mid-Atlantic Brain & Neurological Rehabilitation
When you come see us, you will be met by a multi-disciplinary team that will thoroughly examine your head and your symptoms. You will undergo a series of tests that includes testing of your:
- Balance
- Gait
- Eye Tracking
- Memory
These tests are done in our office where we use the most advanced neurological and physical testing equipment available. This helps us determine the exact state of your condition.
After that, our team will come up with a plan of treatment to help you with your challenges and any deficiencies that your concussion or TBI has brought about. We will explain everything to you as we go along.
We know that having a concussion can change your life in the blink of an eye. It's our goal to work closely with you to get you back to where you were before it happened, or as close to that as possible. Our staff is extremely knowledgeable and will be glad to answer any questions that you might have about what has happened to you and how you can manage it in the future.
