Coordination of Care for TBI

We provide advanced technology for diagnosing concussion and other types of traumatic brain injury. Working closely with other medical facilities, we ensure that patients experiencing persistent concussion symptoms receive accurate neurological diagnosis and care, promoting optimal recovery outcomes.

Traumatic Brain Injury

Traumatic brain injuries occur when a sudden trauma, such as a violent blow or jolt to the head, causes brain damage. The causes of traumatic brain injuries are diverse; some of the common causes include vehicle accidents, sports injuries, falls, domestic violence, and gunshot wounds.

Migraine

A migraine is a type of headache characterized by severe throbbing pain on one side of the head accompanied by secondary symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light, sound or smell. Other symptoms may include lightheadedness and blurry vision.

Quantitative EEG (qEEG) and Advanced Cortical Mapping (ACM)

Through advanced qEEG and ACM methods, we can detect significant abnormalities that are undetectable by standardMRI imaging in patients with persistent neurological symptoms after a concussion or TBI. Thesesophisticated diagnostic techniques offer vital insights for therapeutic directionand for furnishing objective evidence crucial for devising treatment plans or for usein legal adjudications.
