Physical therapy plays a crucial role in recovery after blunt force trauma, which occurs when the body is struck by a heavy object or force causing injury to muscles, bones, or internal organs. After such trauma, physical therapy helps by…
After a concussion, lights and sounds often feel overwhelming because the brain’s ability to process sensory information is disrupted. Normally, the brain acts like a conductor, coordinating various sensory inputs—such as sight and sound—so they feel balanced and manageable. When…
Confusion after brain trauma, such as a traumatic brain injury (TBI), can last for varying lengths of time depending on the severity of the injury and individual factors. For mild brain injuries, confusion typically resolves within a few minutes to…
Supporting balance issues after a head injury involves a combination of specialized therapies, exercises, and lifestyle adjustments aimed at helping the brain and body relearn how to maintain stability and spatial orientation. Balance problems after a head injury often stem…
During the early stages of brain injury recovery, it is crucial to avoid activities and behaviors that could hinder healing or cause complications. The brain is vulnerable after injury, and careful management can support better outcomes. One important thing to…
Recognizing the warning signs of delayed brain swelling is crucial because symptoms may not appear immediately after a head injury but can develop hours, days, or even weeks later. Delayed brain swelling, also known as cerebral edema, occurs when the…
Vision problems after blunt force trauma develop because the impact can damage various parts of the eye and the surrounding structures, as well as the brain areas responsible for processing visual information. When a blunt object strikes the head or…
Dizziness is a common and challenging symptom during brain injury recovery, especially after concussions or traumatic brain injuries. Managing and reducing dizziness involves a combination of targeted therapies, lifestyle changes, and gradual physical activity to help the brain and body…
Personality changes after a traumatic brain injury (TBI) happen because the brain controls how we think, feel, and behave. When the brain is injured, especially in areas like the frontal lobe, which manages personality, decision-making, and impulse control, these functions…
Improving cognitive function after a head injury involves a combination of timely medical treatment, targeted therapies, and lifestyle adjustments that support brain healing and neuroplasticity. The brain has the ability to reorganize and form new connections, which can be enhanced…
