What is traumatic brain injury (TBI)?

TBI refers to brain damage from an accident. When your brain moves sharply within the skull, such as with a violent back-and-forth movement or when your head hits something hard, some brain cells can stretch excessively, tear, or die. 

Some of the most common examples of TBI happen when patients have auto, sports, and surfing accidents. Veterans may experience TBI due to combat, and the injuries may happen in many other ways, too.

What problems does traumatic brain injury cause in daily life?

Traumatic brain injury can cause numerous problems that interrupt your life, such as: 

• Headaches
• Confusion
• Poor sleep
• Memory problems
• Difficulty focusing
• Tinnitus (in-ear ringing)
• Vision fluctuations
• Light and sound sensitivity
• Lack of coordination or clumsiness
• Agitation
• Restlessness

TBI is a physical injury, but the incident that caused it can have serious psychological effects as well, so many people with TBI struggle with mental health difficulties.

For example, up to 7 in 10 people with TBI experience depression. The National Center for PTSD says that people with a history of TBI are more likely to develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a combination often found in veterans. 

What is the best treatment for traumatic brain injury?

The best TBI treatment is one that’s personalized to help restore your brain function. Wholesome Therapy Center offers Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy (MeRT), an advanced version of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), which helps you do that. 

MeRT begins with a comprehensive brain function evaluation. Electroencephalograms (EEGs) show the condition and frequency of your brain. The results aid in diagnosing your injury and pinpointing specific areas of brain damage.

Then, using this blueprint of your brain, magnetic pulses gently stimulate the areas that need to rebuild and heal. The magnetic waves lead to brain renewal and help your brain return to normal function, which in turn relieves TBI symptoms*.

After a week, you have another EEG, which can show exactly how much MeRT has improved your brain function. 

Wholesome Therapy Center can then customize your treatment further, and your provider may recommend supplemental therapies like Masgutova Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration (MNRI®) and psychotherapy as well. 

Wholesome Therapy Center is dedicated to noninvasive solutions for TBI and mental health conditions, so don’t settle for a treatment that isn’t effective. Contact the office by phone, or book your appointment online now.
