Brain injury and its devastating and costly effects

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is caused by blunt, traumatic forces to the brain. Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) is a non-traumatic brain injury or disease such as stroke, encephalitis or other infectious diseases, anoxic/hypoxic injury (lack of oxygen to the brain), aneurysms, seizure disorders, surgical procedures and toxic exposure. According to the Brain Injury Association of America, 2.9 million Americans visit the emergency department due to a TBI every year.

According to the Texas Brain Injury Alliance:

• 144,000 Texans sustain a TBI each year — one every 4 minutes
• More than 381,000 Texans live with a disability due to a TBI — 2% of the population
• More than 5,700 Texas residents are permanently disabled by TBI each year

Convenient Location

CNS’ new clinic offers space to accommodate a broader population of inpatient, outpatient, day treatment and residential post-acute brain injury patients. It is adjacent to the Dallas North Tollway and located minutes from area airports and hotels.
