Traumatic brain injury related conditions
Growing up I played football in high school but never got evaluated for having possible concussions in the past. I noticed that it was difficult for me to remember and learn in school. Thanks to being under care I’ve noticed I no longer have headaches and it feels like my brain is working properly again!
