Which brings us to these questions: - How often do car-accident related TBIs occur? - How would you know if you have it? - And, is it usually permanent or long-lasting brain injury? About 80% of TBIs are considered mild (mTBI). Most are caused from low speed car accidents, and the majority (about 80%) of mTBI improve within 3-6 months with varying degrees permanent brain impairments such as memory loss, depression, anxieties, thought process or cognitive process, irritability, sleep disorder, mood swings, etc.. Long-term, unresolved TBIs are often referred to as: “post-concussive syndrome.” It is always best to get checked out by an injury specialist or a neurologist immediately after your car accident. The sooner TBI treatment begins, the better recovery you will experience. Injury Treatment Centers of Kansas City is the only clinic in the KC that uses the only FDA cleared machine (EEG/ERP) to test for mTBI.

It's been a pleasure to work with SIRA as a committee member representing Exercise & Sports Science Australia (ESSA) to update the Lower Back Pain Model of care and excited to see this published. I've always been a huge advocate for early engagement in exercise, activity and work following an episode of back pain and to have this document to provide to patients and doctors will go a long way in reducing unnecessary surgeries, opioid medications, rest (atrophy and weakness), pain and disability. https://lnkd.in/gEU8XgQS #exercisephysiology #lowerbackpain #exerciseismedicine
