Traumatic Brain Injuries

 

Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) or Mild Traumatic Brain Injuries (MTBI) are more common than one would think.

The most common causes
of TBIs

#1) Falls

Especially in the elderly

#2) Car Accidents

Even accidents that cause whiplash can cause TBIs without you ever banging your head against something.

Soccer

Another leading cause of concussions in young girls is playing soccer — think headers.

Football

For boys, the leading cause is football.

 

Traumatic Brain injuries can lead to:

 

  • brain fog

  • depression

  • difficulty focusing

  • headaches

  • difficulty finding words

  • balance disorders

  • difficulty with comprehension

  • tinnitus

 

The area of the brain most affected will determine what loss of function and what your symptomatic expression of the injury will be. The symptoms from TBIs range from minor to disabling to life threatening.
