When an Accident in Kentucky Results in Traumatic Brain Injury (Part B)

Treatment and Recovery from a Traumatic Brain Injury

For mild head injury such as a concussion the treatment normally involves plenty of rest and time to make sure your condition is not worse than it appears. You may have a head or neck X-ray to make sure there are no bone fractures or spinal instability.

Moderate cases of traumatic brain injury will almost always require some sort of imaging scan to determine the extent of the damage. CT scans are common along with the X-rays. Rehabilitation methods such as speech, physical and occupational therapy may be necessary to regain lost skills.

Serious cases of traumatic brain injury may require oxygen therapy to help stabilize the brain and prevent continued damage. Maintaining good blood flow immediately after the head injury is also important to minimize the damage suffered to the brain. Recovering from a serious traumatic brain injury can take months, even years, before a patient regains some normalcy in their life.
