TBI is diagnosed when a person experiences a traumatic blow, impact, whiplash, or puncture to the head, which can be caused by high-impact sports, accidents, and other traumas. Depending on the severity of the injury, the doctor may diagnose mild, moderate, or severe TBI. Mild TBI can resolve on its own, while moderate TBI may result in moderate brain damage, and severe TBI can cause extended unconsciousness and permanent disability.
BOTOX® is a neurotoxin that temporarily blocks the release of chemicals that cause muscle contractions, which can reduce the frequency and intensity of migraines. Chronic migraines are defined as occurring 15 or more days per month, each lasting 4+ hours.
Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) is a device implanted under the skin that generates low voltage electric currents to interrupt pain signals traveling from the spinal cord to the brain. It is typically recommended for patients who have not found relief from other non-surgical pain management treatments.
What is Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)?
Radiofrequency Ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that involves heating up a small area of a nerve to disrupt the transmission of pain signals to the brain. RFA provides long-term pain relief for patients with chronic pain in the lower back, neck, and joints, and is often used to relieve arthritis pain.
