The Only Cure for Head Injury is Prevention
The head injury program in Missouri is cautioning that the only cure for traumatic brain injury is to prevent it in the first place. The head injury program plans to make the message more clear to those most at risk. Currently, the numbers of hospital and emergency visits by people with traumatic brain injuries is increasing. The increase is blamed on falls in the aging population, motor vehicle accidents, and increasing violence, especially against children.
Lori Brenneke, the manager of the program, says that the group plans to focus more on preventative measures against head injury. Many people who have suffered traumatic brain injury say they would have not participated in the activities that injured them had they known the potential consequences.
