Advanced Neurological Rehabilitation for Complete Recovery

Understanding Mild Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)

Mild Traumatic Brain injuries can lead to a wide range of symptoms, from cognitive impairment to motor dysfunction. These injuries often disrupt the autonomic nervous system, leading to dysregulation that affects the entire body.

Common Symptoms of a Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Include:

  • Headache - A frequent symptom of brain injury, headaches can range from mild to severe and may persist for days, weeks, or longer. They are often caused by changes in brain function or injury to brain tissues.

  • Dizziness - A sensation of lightheadedness, vertigo, or feeling off-balance. Dizziness occurs due to disruptions in the brain’s processing of sensory information related to balance and spatial orientation.

  • Fatigue - A common consequence of brain injury, fatigue involves a persistent feeling of tiredness or exhaustion that doesn't improve with rest. It can result from the brain working harder to process information or due to physical and emotional stress.

  • Memory Problems - Difficulties with short-term or long-term memory, such as forgetting recent events, conversations, or tasks. This can occur due to damage to areas of the brain responsible for memory storage and recall.

  • Mood Swings - Rapid or extreme changes in mood, such as sudden shifts from happiness to anger or sadness. These may result from damage to areas of the brain that regulate emotions.

  • Attention Issues - Difficulty focusing, sustaining attention, or staying organised. This can happen due to brain injury affecting areas responsible for concentration and cognitive function.

  • Sleep Disturbances - Changes in sleep patterns, such as insomnia (difficulty falling or staying asleep), hypersomnia (excessive sleeping), or altered sleep-wake cycles, which are common after brain injuries due to disruptions in brain areas that regulate sleep.

  • Visual Disturbances - Blurred vision, double vision, light sensitivity, or other visual problems may occur following a brain injury due to damage to the brain's visual processing centres or pathways connecting the eyes to the brain.

    These symptoms can significantly impact daily life, and they vary in intensity and duration depending on the severity of the brain injury and the areas of the brain affected.

Our Unique Approach to Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Treatment

Combining Functional Neurological Rehabilitation and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

At Neuro Care, we use an integrated approach to mild traumatic brain injury treatment that combines Functional Neurological Rehabilitation with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT). This combination leverages advanced therapies to enhance your body’s natural healing abilities, focusing on restoring balance and function to the nervous system.

  • Functional Neurological Rehabilitation

    Functional Neurological Rehabilitation

    Functional Neurological Rehabilitation (FNR) focuses on restoring the brain's function and neuroplasticity by targeting the specific neural pathways affected by an injury. The exercises focus on:

    Customised Exercises: Tailored exercises are designed to engage specific parts of the brain affected by the injury, helping to retrain and strengthen neural connections.

    Sensory Stimulation: Techniques such as visual, auditory, and tactile stimulation are used to activate neural pathways, enhancing sensory processing and integration.

    Movement Therapies: Physical therapies targeting motor skills, coordination, and balance are utilised to address any physical impairments resulting from the injury.

  • Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

    Overview: Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurised chamber, allowing a greater amount of oxygen to dissolve in the bloodstream and be delivered to injured brain tissues. This increased oxygenation supports the brain's natural healing processes through:

    Increased Oxygen Supply: By breathing 100% oxygen in a pressurised environment, more oxygen is delivered to brain cells, enhancing cellular repair and regeneration.

    Reduced Inflammation: HBOT helps to reduce brain inflammation, which is common after a traumatic injury, minimising further damage.

    Enhanced Neuroplasticity: The therapy supports neuroplasticity, allowing the brain to form new neural connections and improve function.

    Promotes Healing: Helps to restore normal brain function by providing essential oxygen to damaged areas, accelerating the healing process.

Why Our Approach is Different

  • Unlike traditional treatment methods, our approach integrates cutting-edge therapies that target the root cause of symptoms, rather than just managing them. By enhancing neuroplasticity and oxygen supply to the brain, we support your body’s innate ability to heal, providing a more effective path to recovery.

  • We emphasise evidence-based treatments with proven efficacy, using the latest research and innovative methods to ensure you receive the best care possible.

  • Our programme is not one-size-fits-all; it’s tailored to your unique needs, providing a higher standard of personalised care and maximising the chances for successful rehabilitation.

Research Findings

  • Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

    Study: "The Role of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in the Management of Chronic Traumatic Brain Injury" (2017) demonstrates the significant benefits of HBOT in improving cognitive function, reducing post-concussion symptoms, and enhancing the overall quality of life for patients with chronic brain injuries. The study highlights how increased oxygen levels from HBOT can promote brain healing by reducing inflammation and supporting neuroplasticity.

  • Functional Neurological Rehabilitation

    Study: "Neurological Rehabilitation and Functional Outcomes Post-Traumatic Brain Injury" (2020) underscores the importance of targeted neurological rehabilitation in restoring motor function and cognitive abilities following traumatic brain injury (TBI). It emphasises the role of customised exercises in enhancing neuroplasticity, leading to improved outcomes in motor skills and cognitive recovery.
