TREATMENT FOR TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURIES

If you have sustained a TBI, treatment is possible.  However, the extent of recovery depends on how soon you begin treatment and the severity of your injury.  As a result, it is critical to see a doctor as soon as possible if you believe you may have sustained an injury. Treatment may include therapy, surgery, and/or rehabilitation. Left untreated, the effects of a TBI worsen overtime and may lead to substantial cognitive, communicative, and behavioral changes.
