Brain Injury

Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs) are head injuries that can have both immediate and delayed consequences affecting physical, cognitive, emotional, and behavioral areas in one’s life. TBIs are quite common injuries, but often go unnoticed and are left untreated. Thus it is important to know and recognize the causes and underlying symptoms of TBIs, as their severity could impose lifelong changes that may dramatically affect the person’s ability to function in their everyday life. Even after hospitalization and receiving inpatient rehabilitation services, half of those diagnosed with a TBI will exhibit further health issues. 

A concussion is a type of TBI caused by a blow to the head or a violent shaking of the head and body. Those that have had a concussion before are at greater risk for developing another and may take longer to recover. Below are common signs and symptoms seen in those with concussions and brain injuries:

• Difficulty thinking clearly, concentrating, or remembering

• Low energy
