Brain Injury

Nearly 1.4 million people in the United States suffer a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) every year. TBI can disrupt brain function.  TBI occurs when the brain sustains bruising due to abrupt contact with the inner skull cavity often associated with sudden "acceleration-deceleration" incidents.  This often occurs even without a direct blow to the head and without an obvious loss of consciousness. Although a person is only momentarily dazed or confused, serious brain injury may have occurred.

Motor vehicle accidents and slips and falls are the leading causes of TBI.  However, because it is often a subtle injury, it frequently goes unnoticed by doctors, patients, family and friends.  TBI may accompany what is commonly thought to be merely a "whiplash" injury.  Injured persons, family and friends should be on the alert to notice any, even slight, changes in memory, concentration, forgetfulness, disorientation, getting lost in familiar surroundings, even the sense of smell, and report these to the treating doctor at once.
