The brain is the most complex part of the human body. It is the seat of intelligence, interpreter of the senses, initiator of body movement, and controller of behavior. That is why diagnosis and treatment of injury, or diseases/disorders of the brain, is of such importance.
Neurological disabilities include a wide range of disorders, such as epilepsy, learning disabilities, neuromuscular disorders, autism, ADD, brain tumors, and cerebral palsy, just to name a few. Some neurological conditions are congenital, emerging before birth.
Accidents involving vehicles, bikes, sports, or falls usually cause these types of injuries. Neurological trauma can often affect many areas of the body — including the organs, blood vessels, muscles, and bones.
Trauma to the left side of your brain can cause problems with logic, speech difficulties, trouble understanding others or talking, versus right-side injury, which can cause problems processing visual information, neglect, or apraxia - the ability to perform regular or familiar tasks.
