Which type of head injury doctor to see for your concussion or TBI | Whitlock Law, LLC

Posted on January 11, 2023 in Truck Accidents

If you’ve been in a motor vehicle accident in Maryland you might wonder which kind of head injury doctor to see for your concussion or traumatic brain injury (TBI). There are different types of doctors you might see depending on your situation – we’ll discuss them in this article.

TYPES OF HEAD INJURY DOCTORS

PEDIATRICIANS OR GENERAL PRACTITIONERS

If you don’t need hospitalization for your head injury, your personal physician might be able to provide a diagnosis. Some may give outdated advice, however, like lying in a dark room until the symptoms disappear, but this could lead to long-term symptoms. If they cannot treat you properly, they will refer you to another specialist.

SPORTS MEDICINE PHYSICIANS

The quality of concussion care depends on their specialty. When they have experience in concussion treatment, they can be a great resource, especially if they are connected to a clinic and can refer you immediately for therapy.

PHYSICAL MEDICINE AND REHABILITATION (PM&R) PHYSICIAN

Also called a physiatrist, a PM&R physician specializing in head injuries can help with concussion diagnosis and treatment after motor vehicle accidents. They can prescribe medicine to supplement therapy.

NEUROLOGIST

Neurologists treat neurological conditions, including concussion and traumatic brain injury. They know about medication options for brain disorders and can refer you to specialists.

CONCUSSION CLINIC

Concussion clinics help people recover from concussions. But some are better than others. Many of them offer good acute concussion care. Despite this, many don’t know how to manage persistent symptoms.

These are some of the specialists who treat concussions. The specialist you see for treatment of a concussion or TBI depends on the cause of the injury. When you visit your doctor, tell them why the symptoms started so they refer you appropriately.
