Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) / Concussion Treatment in NYC

What is Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)?

A Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is an injury that impacts how the brain functions. It can result from sudden trauma to the head from impact (falls, motor vehicle collisions, assault) or a penetrating injury (gunshot wound). Types of brain injuries include concussion, skull fracture, hematoma, anoxia, and hypoxia.

Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are a major cause of death and disability in the U.S. 75% of TBIs are considered to be mild (or concussions), the remaining 25% are categorized as moderate or severe based on the degree of damage to the brain. But all TBIs, ranging from mild to severe, are serious injuries that can have short and long-term health effects.

Symptoms can manifest as difficulties with memory, concentration, and learning, confusion, and light headedness. They can also manifest with chronic headaches/migraines, vomiting/nausea, dizziness, or blurred vision. Neurofeedback therapy combined with comprehensive brain mapping at BRC can help identify specific regions of the brain that have been impacted, and train/rebuild these damaged regions.

Brain Injury Symptoms:

  • Behavior or mood changes

  • Blurred vision

  • Confusion

  • Convulsions or seizures

  • Fatigue/tiredness

  • Headache

  • Lightheadedness

  • Migraines

  • Nausea/vomiting

  • Ringing in the ears

  • Trouble with memory

  • Trouble with concentration,

Our Treatment Approach for TBI

Our approach includes a combination of neurofeedback, biofeedback, cognitive coaching, and behavioral therapy. Neuromodulation techniques are personalized to target specific areas of the brain, and provide visual and audio cues to restore function to previously damaged areas. At Brain Resource Center, TBI treatment is dynamic and comprehensive. Supplementing neuromodulation techniques with cognitive behavioral therapy helps one adjust to the initial effects of experiencing a brain injury and provides a path for recovery and resiliency.

TBI Assessment

Timely and effective diagnoses, as well as individualized treatment plans, are vital to restoring maximum brain function. Brain Resource Center offers a diagnostic package, consisting of a complete qEEG brain mapping, a cognitive skills assessment, and a neuropsychological evaluation. Based on these results, we develop personalized neurofeedback and cognitive-behavioral therapy treatment plan for your brain.

How does Neurofeedback work?

  • Brain map New York City

    1. Brain map

    Brainwave assessment identifies imbalances and helps to create a personalized treatment plan.

  • Neurofeedback setup

    2. Treatment setup

    Non-invasive sensors and headphones are placed on your head and the treatment session begins.

  • Brain training

    3. Brain activation

    Software translates your brainwave data and stops or starts audio/visual media based on your brain activity.

    4. Conditioning

    In response to the audio/visual feedback, your brain adapts and learns to regulate your brainwaves and build new, healthy neural pathways.

  • Brain training

    5. Brain Training

    Over time with continuous brain training, healthy brain activity in target regions increases, and symptom-associated activity decreases.
