mTBIs and concussions are the most common type of traumatic brain injury to occur yearly.

mTBI can be caused by a sudden movement or blow to the head which causes the brain to bounce around the skull. This can cause chemical changes in the brain and can lead to symptoms that may affect how a person usually functions.

To learn more about mTBI and the symptoms be sure to visit our website at www.MedStarEncino.com.

If you have been in a car accident, then it is highly suggested that you seek mTBI (mild traumatic brain injury) testing. Conditions may be diagnosed through mTBI testing that may not be found with other testing methods, such as MRI. While mTBI injuries are not life threatening, they can be serious and need to be diagnosed. If left undiagnosed and more mTBIs are experienced, then long-term issues may occur and prolong recovery.

At MedStar, we have the proper equipment to conduct an accurate and quick mTBI test and will generate a report with a list of conditions, if any, that a victim has suffered from during the accident.

MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) is a noninvasive exam used to diagnose various medical conditions and rule out a diagnosis. At MedStar Head Trauma & Chiropractic Medical Center, we offer a full range of MRI exams, including open MRI. Open MRI provides a more comfortable experience for patients who may have claustrophobia and can greatly reduce stress and anxiety.
