More than 18% of people in the United States encounter traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). At Myneurva Brain Centers in Hackensack, New Jersey, psychiatry and neurology specialist Frederick Starr, MD, FAACAP, helps treat symptoms of TBI to optimize your brain’s health and functioning. Schedule an evaluation by calling the office or requesting an appointment online today.
A TBI can occur after hitting your head on something, causing an injury to your brain. It may affect your movements, thinking, memory, or emotions, and become painful. Undergoing treatment at Myneurva Brain Centers can help heal your brain and minimize TBI symptoms. Dr. Starr tailors treatments to your specific needs and the type of injury you sustain.
A TBI can cause:
TBIs are sometimes life-threatening and can cause long-lasting health concerns.
TBI risk factors include:
Anytime you hit your head hard, you’re at risk of a TBI. Complications may include brain bleeding, seizures, disability, and brain damage. That’s why it’s important to see a healthcare provider immediately if you suspect you or a loved one has a TBI.
TBIs are often diagnosed using neurological exams, blood testing, and imaging tests like CT scans or MRIs. Myneurva Brain Centers offers quantitative electroencephalogram (QEEG) to evaluate your brain wave activity and determine which treatment best matches your individualized needs.
Neurofeedback therapy is a noninvasive approach that can support recovery after a traumatic brain injury (TBI) by helping the brain reestablish more stable and efficient patterns of activity.
During neurofeedback sessions, sensors are placed on the scalp to monitor brainwave activity in real time. The individual receives immediate visual or auditory feedback when the brain begins shifting toward more balanced patterns, reinforcing healthier functioning over time.
By promoting improved self-regulation within affected brain networks, neurofeedback may help reduce cognitive fog, improve attention and processing speed, stabilize mood, and enhance sleep quality. Because the therapy works directly with the brain’s natural ability to reorganize and adapt—known as neuroplasticity—it can be particularly beneficial during post-injury recovery.
Neurofeedback is often used as part of a comprehensive rehabilitation plan, complementing other medical and therapeutic interventions to support long-term cognitive and emotional healing.
