Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
A TBI impacts your brain function, potentially causing you to feel confused. You may also have trouble concentrating if you’ve developed a brain injury from an accident.

We understand that both auto accident and work-related injuries can be life-changing. If you’re experiencing symptoms like headaches, pain in the back, neck, arms and legs, or other concerns, we’re here for you. We’ll talk through your symptoms, and, following a thorough evaluation, we can recommend treatment strategies. With modern imaging techniques, we can diagnose neurological conditions that were difficult to detect before traumatic brain injury imaging innovations.

A concussion is a mild type of TBI. While it is usually less severe, it can still cause headaches, nausea or a groggy feeling.
Some experience nerve damage outside of the brain or spinal cord. In this case, you might experience neuropathy, which can cause tingling or numbness in your hands or feet.
If a disc in your lower back is bulging, you could experience lumbar disc disease and the lower back pain and leg pain that come with it.
Radiculopathy is when pressure compresses the nerve and causes numbness, weakness, tingling or pain. For instance, neck injuries from an accident can damage your spinal column’s nerve root, which can cause this disease.
Damage to the part of the brain that controls muscle function can cause ataxia, impairing your coordination and potentially leading to balance issues, hearing problems, vision impairment, headaches or slurred speech.
Through our goal to provide individualized and comprehensive care, we offer services that address all aspects of your health and well-being. With neuro, rehabilitation, imaging and orthopedic professionals all working closely together in one health system, we offer the following services to help you recover:
Accidents can cause many injuries to the spine that are sometimes permanent and need to be corrected by surgery. Our specialists have extensive training in assessing each injury and recommending surgery that is tailored to each patient’s specific needs. With new technology, there are many advancements in procedures that can effectively correct the injury and provide long-lasting relief with minimal downtime and recovery.
Depending on the diagnosis and severity of the condition, surgical intervention may be recommended. Complete Care’s fully trained and experienced spine surgeon provides the complete spectrum of spinal care, including the following surgical specialties:
Cervical disc replacement is a surgical procedure that involves removing a damaged or degenerated cervical disc and replacing it with an artificial disc device. Cervical discs are the cushions or shock absorbers between the bones (vertebra) of the neck (cervical spine). Discs that become damaged either through trauma or degeneration can be a source of pain. If part of a disc moves out of its normal position it can cause pressure on the central spinal cord or on the individual nerve roots that exit from the spinal canal at each vertebral level.
Cervical fusion is a surgical procedure that links together damaged segments of the vertebral column in the neck. This surgery is usually required when the cervical vertebrae and the discs between each vertebra have become damaged as a result of an injury or chronic wear-and-tear.
Lumbar fusion is a surgical procedure used to correct problems with the small bones in the spine (vertebrae). It is essentially a “welding” process. The basic idea is to fuse together two or more vertebrae so that they heal into a single, solid bone.
Laminectomy is surgery that creates space by removing the lamina — the back part of a vertebra that covers your spinal canal. Also known as decompression surgery, laminectomy enlarges your spinal canal to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves.

Discogram is an invasive diagnostic test that uses x-rays to examine the intervertebral discs of your spine. A special dye is injected into the injured disc or series of discs. The dye makes the disc visible on a fluoroscope monitor and x-ray film. The procedure involves pressurizing discs by injecting them with a sterile liquid to induce pain in the affected discs.
Using fluoroscopy as a guide, the probe is inserted into the basivertebral nerve where radiofrequency is utilized to ablate the nerve. This is an implant free, minimally invasive, outpatient procedure.
A minimally invasive surgery where they use radiofrequency in the disk using an innovative, minimal access spine system designed to efficiently access the damaged disc without injury to surrounding disc anatomy.
