HELP

Recognizing the necessity of professional intervention.

Navigating the symptoms of head injuries requires moving beyond self-management and seeking professional help from experts who can provide a personalized plan. A comprehensive approach involves various forms of therapy to address the wide range of challenges posed by the condition. With different therapeutic strategies, you can create a complete playbook to build resilience, manage symptoms, and improve overall quality of life.

  • Behavioral Therapies

    These therapies provide strategies to cope with the frustration, anger, and impulsiveness. They help in reframing harmful thoughts, practicing mindfulness, and learning to regulate emotions through techniques like breathing exercises and pausing before reacting.

  • Cognitive Therapy

    This therapy addresses memory issues, attention difficulties, and slow processing speeds. It utilizes memory games, puzzles, and timed reading challenges to help retrain the brain and develop new strategies for focus and recall.

  • Physical Therapy

    In some brain injuries, physical symptoms like poor balance and difficulty with motor skills can form. Physical therapists create personalized exercise plans to improve coordination, strength, stability, and flexibility to manage these challenges.

  • Vestibular Rehabilitation

    A form of physical therapy is vestibular rehabilitation, which deals with significant dizziness, balance problems, or gaze stability issues. It uses specific head, eye, and body movement exercises to recalibrate the body's balance system.

  • Occupational Therapy

    When dealing with major traumatic brain injuries or degenerative long-term concussion symptoms, an occupational therapist helps maintain independence for as long as possible by modifying living environments and daily routines. They suggest safety improvements, teach how to use adaptive tools for self-care, and help individuals regain the ability to enjoy hobbies.
