TBI/PTSD Brain Health Program

Begin healing your brain

ROOT CAUSE MEDICAL offers a unique treatment modality for mild/moderate Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI), which includes diagnoses such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Post Concussion Syndrome (PCS).  We utilize a medical protocol along with an extensive blood bio-marker panel designed by Dr. Mark Gordon of Millennium Health in the USA.  ROOT CAUSE MEDICAL utilizes the Millennium Health Office Assistant designed by Dr. Mark Gordon to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of mTBI.

Each brain will respond differently to a traumatic or non-traumatic brain injury. ROOT CAUSE MEDICAL’S TBI/PTSD Brain Health Program addresses the many facets of traumatic brain injury, often diagnosed as PTSD or a psychological illness.

What is a Traumatic Brain Injury?

It is widely recognized that a traumatic brain injury (TBI) can unleash inflammatory chemicals that disrupt the brain’s ability to function in an optimal way.

Symptoms of TBI can mild, moderate, or severe. Symptoms can include depression, anxiety, mood swings, memory loss, inability to concentrate, learning disabilities, sleep deprivation, increased risk for heart attack or stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes, loss of libido, mental.

Causes of Traumatic Brain Injury

Some Common Causes of TBI:

There are many ways TBI’s can occur, the most common incidents are from a blow or jolt to the head. Other instances can include:

  • Falls

  • Vehicle Collisions

  • Sports Injuries/Concussions

  • Blast Trauma/Combat Injuries

  • Exposure to Traumatic Events

Consequences of Traumatic Brain Injury

Mild TBIs, often unrecognized due to their less dramatic symptoms, can trigger a cascade of changes in the body's endocrine system. Research emphasizes that even a mild TBI can disrupt the delicate balance of hormones in our bodies, leading to a host of physical and psychological symptoms. These may include fatigue, depression, anxiety, and even cognitive decline.

Hormonal dysregulation

Hormonal dysregulation, a consequence of mild TBI, is often undiagnosed and misunderstood. Yet, it is a condition that can significantly alter one's quality of life.

To counter the impact of hormonal dysregulation resulting from mild TBI, current research advocates for the use of bioidentical hormones, mainly neurosteroids and neuroactive steroids. These involve hormones produced in our brains and ones that cross the blood brain barrier. 

Bioidentical hormones can help restore hormonal balance, alleviating symptoms and improving quality of life for those living with the aftermath of a mild TBI.

ROOT CAUSE MEDICAL offers a personalized approach to treatment, tailored to the individual's unique hormonal profile.

ROOT CAUSE MEDICAL utilizes a specialized treatment protocol that encompasses an extensive biomarker laboratory panel and a software program developed by Dr. Mark Gordon of Millennium Health to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of neuroinflammation.

Dr. Mark Gordon has treated thousands of veterans and civilians throughout his extensive career and research in the area of TBI and PTSD. 

ROOT CAUSE MEDICAL is certified in Dr. Mark Gordon’s protocols and a member of the Millennium Health TBI network. Every program is tailored to each patient's unique needs, concentrating on alleviating symptoms and addressing the root cause illness, such as neuroinflammation, with the ultimate goal of healing the brain.
