To all Veterans, thank you for your service. We appreciate you everyday.

We believe that soldiers should never be left behind on the battlefield or once they return home with neurologic injuries.  We are committed to helping Vets return to their former abilities or help them relearn or gain compensatory skills to reengage and succeed in life. Our unique approach of civilian and military rehabilitation techniques results in successful recovery. 

Thank you for your service!
NeuroRehab Services is Veteran owned and operated.​ Read more about our commitment to Veterans.

Suppose that a million or more members of the US Armed Forces and veterans were suffering from an epidemic that could not be prevented, treated or cured — and 20 of them were dying from it every day. Would we address it as a national emergency, mobilizing resources, coordinating research, and insisting on answers?
They are — but we aren’t. It’s time for that to change.
Nearly 350,000 service member and veterans have been diagnosed with traumatic brain injury (TBI) since 2001. Even more have post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Twenty veterans commit suicide every day, most of them as a direct result of these conditions.

Randy Dexter and Captain are more than just dog owner and dog. That’s obvious from the way Captain looks for Dexter whenever the Army veteran leaves the room, and the way the Lab mix’s demeanor slips instantly from playful to dead serious once he’s wearing the jacket that denotes his status as a service animal.
Dexter is a retired U.S. Army staff sergeant who did two tours of duty in Iraq. He was diagnosed with both post-traumatic stress disorder and a mild traumatic brain injury, and the story of Dexter and Captain is featured in a new awareness campaign urging veterans and military service people to seek help for traumatic brain injury if they need it.

When people write about Dr. Alisa D. Gean, they use phrases like “acknowledged global expert,” and “world-class neuroradiologist.” The work that draws such praise is her look at traumatic brain injury (TBI) from its sources in bombings and battle.
Dr. Gean’s single-author text, Brain Injury: Applications from War and Terrorism, pulls together her decades of interest in TBI, and her dedication to men and women who have been injured in the line of duty.  The books includes information and research gathered from nearly 30 years studying civilian TBI and five intensive years studying TBI sustained from combat, terrorism, and natural disasters.

BOSTON — A simple, quick test performed with a pupillometer appears to be an effective screening tool for acute mild traumatic brain injury, US Army investigators report.
"We have identified functional divergences that could be biomarkers for traumatic brain injury," said José Capó-Aponte, OD, PhD, from the Department of Optometry at the Womack Army Medical Center in Fort Bragg, North Carolina.

New brain scanning software being developed by the University of Aberdeen could save the lives of soldiers on the front line, experts believe.
The portable ultrasound scanner is aimed at better detecting injuries such as bleeding on the brain.
The team is working on the technology with the Ministry of Defence's science and technology laboratory (DSTL).
The device - much smaller than an MRI scanner - would create a 3D model of the brain on location.

(WASHINGTON, D.C.) A new campaign is underway to get service members and veterans with brain injuries to seek help. The new initiative is being launched by the Department of Defense and is being led by the Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Centers. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant health issue which affects service members and veterans during times of both peace and war. The Defense Department reports more than 330,000 service members have been diagnosed with TBI since 2000, but they know there are some who still need treatment to deal with lasting impacts from their injury.
