Head Injury Specialist in Duncan, Greenville, and Spartanburg, SC
Expert Head Injury Treatment in South Carolina
Head injuries can range from mild concussions to severe traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) and significantly disrupt normal brain function. These injuries often occur due to falls, vehicle accidents, sports-related impacts, or workplace mishaps. Common symptoms of a head injury may include persistent headaches, dizziness, loss of balance, nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light or sound, memory lapses, confusion, fatigue, drowsiness, and mood changes. Early recognition of these symptoms is critical, as timely medical intervention can significantly improve recovery outcomes.
Comprehensive Head Injury Diagnosis
Carolina Orthopaedic & Neurosurgical Associates (CONA) provides expert neurological care for patients with head injuries at our state-of-the-art Neurology Center, serving Spartanburg, Duncan, and Greenville, SC. Our approach to diagnosing head injuries involves a detailed neurological evaluation to assess the severity and impact on cognitive and physical functions. This assessment thoroughly reviews symptoms, medical history, and physical examination to identify neurological concerns.
To better understand the extent of the injury, our specialists utilize advanced diagnostic imaging technologies, such as MRI scans. These tools help detect structural damage, bleeding, swelling, and other critical brain changes that may require immediate attention. Our comprehensive diagnostic process ensures a precise understanding of each patient’s condition, allowing us to develop a targeted treatment plan.
All patients experiencing a head injury should go to their emergency room for initial treatment.
Personalized Head Injury Treatment Plans
Following a thorough evaluation, our board-certified neurologists create individualized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s needs. These plans may include physical therapy to restore mobility and balance, occupational therapy to regain essential daily living skills, speech and language therapy to address communication challenges, and cognitive therapy to improve memory, concentration, and executive function. Our goal is to promote optimal recovery by addressing the physical and mental aspects.
In cases where more intensive intervention is required, our team collaborates closely with neurosurgeons and other specialists to ensure seamless, coordinated care. We also provide ongoing monitoring and support throughout the recovery process, adjusting as needed to accommodate each patient’s progress and changing needs.
