All Things Neuro

Dr. Ben Behrendt describes a scenario nearly every provider recognizes: a patient in a car accident or a fall, told their brain scan looks completely normal, sent home to rest.

Weeks later, months later, sometimes years later, the symptoms are still there. Dizziness. Splitting headaches. Eye strain when reading. Exhaustion. Light and sound sensitivity. A fog that doesn't lift.

A normal scan doesn't mean nothing happened. It means the injury isn't the kind that shows up on standard imaging, and patients living with that gap deserve a clearer answer than "you'll be fine."

If any of this sounds familiar, a comprehensive evaluation can help identify what's actually going on.

Dr. Jeremy Hertza on what a thorough initial assessment actually requires: understanding the mechanism of injury, which body systems were affected, and who needs to be involved in a patient's care from day one.

A common gap in care happens when specific pieces get missed. Take a patient with an orthopedic injury requiring long-term medication. That medication can carry side effects that affect cognition, and that impact can be measured through proper testing.

All Things Neuro brings a multidisciplinary approach to every evaluation, looking at imaging, patient history, and clinical and neuropsychological testing together to help ensure patients get the coordinated care their recovery actually requires.

Dr. Steve Barnett shares a sobering story: a 30-year-old man walked away from a car accident with no visible injuries and minimal vehicle damage. He told a friend he'd sleep in the next morning. By 9am, he was gone, found in front of the television with the remote still in his hand. A brain bleed had gone undetected.

It's a stark reminder that the absence of visible damage, whether to a person or a vehicle, doesn't rule out a serious neurological injury.

If something feels off after any accident, don't wait it out. Get evaluated.

An impairment rating alone rarely captures what a brain injury actually costs someone.

Blade Thompson shares a case where a woman got lost in her own backyard and stopped recognizing neighbors she'd known for years, details far more telling than a percentage on a chart.

This is the kind of evidence that changes how a case gets valued and argued.

Dr. Steve Barnett explains a mechanism many people don't expect: you don't have to strike your head to sustain a concussion. In a whiplash injury, the brain moves within the skull and can strike its own protective casing, even without any external impact.

He shares a telling example from his own patients: one partner in a car often insists their head never snapped forward and back, while the other partner, who witnessed it, says otherwise. Patients aren't always the most reliable narrators of their own injury, and symptoms can surface hours, days, or even years later.

If something has felt off since an accident, even without a direct hit to the head, that's worth bringing to a provider.
