Doctors are calling brain injury a silent epidemic!

Traumatic Brain Injury is called the ‘Silent Epidemic” because the un-informed public is being ravaged by its devastating repercussions. According to the National Center for Health Statistics the total number of injuries to the head (of all types) in the United States is estimated to be in excess of 8 million per year. Put another way, every four seconds someone in the United States may suffer a degree of brain damage.

Most of those who are subjected to head injuries will not experience life-changing consequences because their injuries are not “traumatic.” Yet according to the National Brain Injury Association, every 6 minutes one of the 8 million will become permanently disabled from a brain injury that is truly traumatic. Before the age of 65, two out of every three Americans (66%) will have suffered a form of brain injury ranging from mild to severe.

According to State records each year in Colorado 3500 people are disabled from a brain injury and that rate of injury has been consistent for more than 15 years.
