Concussion and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Services

What Are Concussions and TBI?

A concussion is a brain injury that results from a hard hit to the head. Concussions are the mildest, and by far the most common, form of traumatic brain injury (TBI). In the large majority of cases, symptoms go away after a few weeks. However, in some cases, symptoms won’t go away and require long-term management and expert care. There are also severe forms of TBI caused by bruising of brain tissue or destruction of brain connections due to severe direct hits to the brain, or high-speed changes in head position such as traffic accidents. 

With specialized care from Sheppard Pratt, we help your loved one maximize their healing.
