Traumatic Brain Injury can come from a violent blow or jolt to the head or body. We tend to think of bomb blasts, athletic impacts, and car crashes with TBI, but its symptoms can arise from non-violent means as well. We also associate medications, surgery, and rehabilitation as treatments, but there can be other treatments as well.
