Our program starts with a comprehensive
hormonal panel that looks for interruption of hormonal production caused by the head trauma (Hypothalamic-Pituitary
axis). Traditional laboratory testing fails to address the association between head trauma and the failure to make
hormones. An initial level is obtained and then repeated at 3mos, 6mos, 9mos, and 12mons based upon initial
levels and treatment.

Recent studies
have shown that the newer MRI systems can detect previously missed areas of damage (scars).
|
|
|
fMRI can image the activity of the brain in real-time. Damaged areas fail to show activity when you are thinking.
|
|
|
DTI-MRI is one of the newest technology that can identify
damage to nerve bundles that communicate one portion of the brain with another.

NeuroPsychiatric Evaluation
|
Psychometric evaluation is
used to monitor your improvement in cognitive, social, and emotional performance which are significantly affected by hormonal
deficiencies.
|
|
|
During the physical examination
signs of neurotrauma will be sought and documented.
|
|
|
If hormone deficiencies
or insufficiencies are identified they will be corrected to optimal normal levels.
