It is extremely important to seek medical attention if you suspect any level of head injury. Even mild TBIs with mild symptoms can quickly take a turn for the worse. It is imperative to get prompt treatment in any TBI case to minimize long-term damage. Once a brain injury is stabilized, short-term and long-term care for TBI patients can take various forms. Whether in an inpatient or outpatient setting, a rehabilitation program will usually include numerous specialists who work with patients and their families to overcome the physical, emotional, and neurological complications that arise after a traumatic brain injury.
