Traumatic Brain Injury

 Traumatic Brain Injury or TBI happens once every 11 seconds in the United States mostly due to falls, sports injuries and motor vehicle accidents. Many people who are injured do not even realize that there is an injury. Often the person is slightly stunned and then appears to recover. Often though, recovery is not rapid and patients slowly slide with problems appearing in different parts of the body. Problems can be in one or more of the following areas:
