Conditions & Treatments

Cognitive rehabilitation is especially important and effective for patients who have had a traumatic brain injury (TBI) or stroke. Our doctors and specialists will work directly with you to help relearn the cognitive skills that have been lost. Cognitive rehabilitation therapy considers the personal, emotional, and social impacts of a brain injury, and how it interacts with cognitive functioning.

The goal of cognitive rehabilitation is to help you re-acquire previous cognitive and behavioral skills lost after an injury. Our treatment interventions will help you carry out specific tasks so you can return to the quality of life you enjoyed prior to your injury, or a close approximation of it. The team at Sports Concussion Institute will help provide brain injury education for our patient’s family members and be part of their support system to achieve the best possible outcome.

Used in the Treatment of:

• STROKE

Patients may experience depression, headache, brain fog, or other symptoms following a concussion. That’s why we offer treatment plans designed to manage all post-concussion symptoms.

We treat individuals of all ages. We can assess and clinically manage head injuries secondary to sport-induced concussions, automobile accidents, falls, and neurological events such as stroke or hypoxia. Patients with a known or suspected concussion or brain injury will be assessed and treated by our team of knowledgable doctors and other brain injury specialists. Depending on the nature of the injury, treatment may include a combination of headache management, psychotherapy, pharmacological therapy for depression/anxiety, and/or cognitive rehabilitation.

Length and type of treatment are determined by your individual treatment plan, typically delivered in 15–session blocks. Each session runs anywhere from one hour to multiple hours, depending on what might work best for your specific case. Multi-hour sessions are more typical in cases where an injury was severe or requires long-term treatment, accommodations, or rehabilitation.

Our neurological team can treat a variety of disorders, including Parkinson’s, traumatic brain injuries, brain tumors, multiple sclerosis, stroke, Alzheimer’s, and more. You’ll receive an initial consultation to assess immediate concerns, and receive a treatment plan that may include referrals for additional labs or treatment.

Used in the Treatment of:

• DEMENTIA
• STROKE

We collaborate with neurosurgery services when needed. Working as a team with other experts in our field allows us to provide the most comprehensive healthcare solutions to address our patients’ neurological concerns.

Our headache clinic, operating under the direction of Dr. Williams, provides time-limited, comprehensive, multidisciplinary pain management services with an emphasis on accurate diagnosis, evidence-based treatment, functional improvement, and efficient disposition.

Dr. Williams is a board-certified neurologist and fellowship-trained pain specialist with interventional and pharmacologic pain management expertise. Dr. Williams recognizes that pain is almost always multifactorial in nature—there are physical, psychological, and social factors that contribute to the patient’s experience of pain. Patients can expect to receive a comprehensive approach to the evaluation and treatment of their particular pain problem.

To be enrolled in the headache clinic, patients must experience the following criteria:

• Pain, with motivation to improve pain and function.
• Absence of substance abuse.
• Ability to participate in a rigorous, onsite program.
• Absence of severe or untreated mood disturbance or personality disorder.

Patients experiencing symptoms of anxiety or depression could benefit from psychotherapy. Our psychotherapy sessions will enable you to understand your feelings, helping you identify what makes you stressed, anxious, or depressed so that you can cope with difficult situations more easily.

At the CENTER FOR PCS AND PTSD TREATMENT, we provide specialized psychotherapy for patients with neurological conditions. Therapy sessions are conducted with licensed psychologists who are trained to work with patients who are dealing with a myriad of cognitive, physical, and emotional symptoms. It’s common to undergo significant adjustments after experiencing a brain injury, or when experiencing neurological changes. Our structured therapy will allow you to learn more about your moods, feelings, thoughts, and behaviors, help empower you to take control of your life, and teach you how to respond to challenging situations with healthy coping skills. Family education and support are also provided, as we understand the strain that neurological conditions can put on a patient’s support system.
