Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Treatment: A Guide to Recovery
Mild traumatic brain injury (TBI), commonly known as a concussion, is a condition that affects thousands of people in New Zealand each year. Although it’s often considered a "mild" condition, its impact can be challenging and long-lasting if not managed properly. At Neuro Care, we specialise in helping individuals with mild TBI achieve full recovery through personalised and effective treatment options.
What Is a Mild Traumatic Brain Injury?
Mild TBI typically occurs when a sudden force or impact affects the brain, often resulting in symptoms like headaches, dizziness, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating. While many people recover within a few weeks, some experience persistent symptoms that interfere with daily life. This can make simple tasks difficult and negatively impact overall well-being.
Common Symptoms of Mild TBI
Headache and Dizziness: Frequent, often lingering headaches.
Cognitive Difficulties: Challenges with memory, focus, and decision-making.
Emotional Distress: Anxiety, depression, and mood swings.
Sensitivity to Light and Noise: Discomfort in bright or noisy environments.
Fatigue: A persistent feeling of tiredness and reduced energy.
How Neuro Care Treats Mild TBI
At Neuro Care, our approach to mild TBI treatment is both comprehensive and compassionate. We understand the unique challenges that come with this condition and provide a combination of therapies to help you achieve long-term recovery.
Our Key Treatments for Mild TBI
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)
HBOT is a safe, non-invasive treatment that promotes healing by delivering pure oxygen to the brain. This process helps reduce inflammation and encourages the brain’s natural recovery process. Many Neuro Care clients report improved cognitive function and energy levels following this therapy.Neurological Rehabilitation
Our neurological rehabilitation programs are designed to address cognitive, physical, and emotional symptoms. Through tailored exercises and brain-training techniques, we work on enhancing memory, concentration, and problem-solving skills.Nutritional and Lifestyle Support
Proper nutrition and lifestyle changes can significantly improve TBI recovery. We guide our clients on a diet that supports brain health, stress management, and energy restoration, helping the body heal more effectively.
When Should You Seek Help?
If you’ve sustained a head injury and continue to experience symptoms beyond two weeks, it's important to consult a healthcare provider. Persistent symptoms could indicate that your brain needs more time and support to heal.
