Protect Your Brain: TBI Rehab In Denver

Your brain is one of the most important organs in your entire body and when it gets damaged, things can go from bad to worse quickly. A traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the worst injuries that you can possibly get. A strong external force can lead to serious dysfunctionality within the brain and if your brain injury is not addressed quickly, that dysfunction can only get worse. At McWhorter CNR, we’re very proud to offer a wealth of cutting-edge treatment options for TBI rehab in Denver. We will work tirelessly to aid your path to a successful recovery and we won’t leave one stone unturned in your rehabilitation.

What Is A Traumatic Brain Injury?

A traumatic brain injury occurs when an abrupt movement or strike causes damage to the brain. Whether it occurs in a motor vehicle crash, an unexpected fall, or a sports injury, the neurons and blood vessels within your brain are quickly damaged by the sudden movement or powerful impact.

A TBI can have short-term symptoms that improve on their own and long-lasting, more severe symptoms, as well. In some instances, more serious TBIs can lead to serious physical and psychological symptoms. To avoid long-term complications, it’s best to address the problem now by seeking out traumatic brain injury rehabilitation in Denver.

Concussions vs. TBIs

Many people believe that TBIs and concussions are the same thing, and they might use the two terms interchangeably. While both injuries impact the functionality of the brain, a traumatic brain injury is not on the same scale as a concussion and often requires more specialized treatment.

A concussion can be thought of as a “mild TBI.” It is still classified as a traumatic brain injury, but it is not as severe in most cases. Concussions are serious injuries, but they tend to not be life threatening.

You can get a TBI with or without a concussion, but you can’t have a concussion without a TBI. It’s also worth mentioning that the symptoms of a concussion can resolve fairly quickly, while the symptoms of a TBI may not. A traumatic brain injury is far more serious than a concussion and will require more intensive and specialized rehab.

TBI Symptoms

The symptoms of a traumatic brain injury can vary significantly depending on which part of the brain was affected. Individual TBI symptoms can also be influenced by the severity of the injury, the elapsed time since the injury, and many other factors. The symptoms of a mild TBI, or a concussion, can include:

  • Loss of consciousness
  • Headaches, nausea, and vomiting

  • Confusion

  • Dizziness, lightheadedness, and balance problems

  • Blurred vision

  • Ringing in ears

  • Loss of appetite

  • Fatigue and drowsiness

  • Mood changes

  • Trouble with memory, concentration, or thinking

Moderate or severe TBIs will typically display some of those symptoms listed above. Those with moderate or severe brain injries may also experience:

  • Worsening and recurring headaches

  • Repeated vomiting or nausea

  • Neck pain

  • Photophobia

  • Pupil dilation

  • Slurred speech

  • Loss of sense of smell

  • Seizures or convulsions

  • Loss of coordination

  • Weakness or numbness in your limbs

  • Increased confusion, restlessness, or agitation

In many instances, patients who have suffered a traumatic brain injury in Denver can also find themselves struggling to deal with the symptoms of anxiety or depression throughout their road to recovery. Those patients require additional support options to help guide them through the process of traumatic brain injury rehabilitation in Denver. We aim to provide those support methods as best we can throughout every stage of the rehabilitation process.
