Disease, injury, and disorders of the nervous system can all contribute to neurological dysfunction. And when dysfunction occurs, it can significantly impact your quality of life and lead to a number of physical and psychological symptoms. Daily tasks that were once mindless may now seem nearly impossible to complete. Fortunately, with neurological rehabilitation in Denver, you can help improve your brain functioning, reduce (or even eliminate) your symptoms, and improve your overall health and well-being.

On average, approximately 2.8 million Americans sustain a traumatic brain injury in any given year. To put that in perspective, a traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs every 21 seconds in the United States. And the number of TBI-related hospitalizations and deaths are only increasing. If you have suffered from a head injury of any kind, it's important to seek medical attention immediately. Waiting to treat your TBI can be detrimental to your overall health and wellbeing. Once diagnosed with a TBI and an initial treatment is administered, you will begin your rehab to help heal your brain. If you or someone you know has sustained a head or brain injury, here's a helpful guide to traumatic brain injury rehab in Denver.

While some people are hesitant to recognize it, there is a mind/body connection. When your brain is healthy, the rest of your body follows suit. Alternatively, when your brain health has been compromised, the health of your body is too. This is what makes a traumatic brain injury (TBI) so serious. An injury to your brain affects the rest of your body. Let’s review what a TBI is and how traumatic brain injury therapy in Denver can help a patient that’s suffering.
