Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a complex condition resulting from an external force impacting the head, leading to various cognitive, physical, and emotional symptoms. Functional neurologists specialize in the comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of TBI by addressing the intricate neurological and systemic imbalances caused by the injury. Through an in-depth assessment, which includes a detailed medical history, physical examination, and advanced neurological testing, functional neurologists identify the specific areas of the brain and nervous system affected by the trauma.
Treatment for TBI is highly individualized and involves a multi-faceted approach designed to promote neuroplasticity and recovery. This may include targeted neurological rehabilitation exercises aimed at improving cognitive function, motor skills, balance, and coordination. Sensory stimulation techniques, such as vestibular therapy and visual-motor training, are employed to enhance neural pathways and restore functional capabilities. In addition, manual therapy techniques and musculoskeletal rehabilitation help address any concurrent factors contributing to symptoms.
