                     BEST DOCTOR FOR HEAD AND SPINE INJURY IN 
PITAMPURA – BRAIN AND SPINE INJURIES
The brain and spinal cord comprise the body’s 
intricate nervous system. Brain and spine work 
together to help human function. They both have 
many parts that are vulnerable to traumatic injury. 
The nervous system includes the spinal cord, nerves 
and brain. The brain is one of the largest and most 
complex organs and the spinal cord is a long, thin, 
tubular structure that begins at the end of the brain 
stem and continues down almost to the bottom of 
the spine in the human body.
TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURIES BY DR. SHAILESH 
JAIN
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is caused by a blow/ blast to the head or 
violent movement of the head. No open head wound or skull fracture 
or loss of consciousness is required for an injury to be classified as a 
Traumatic brain Injury or TBI.
How Do Doctors Explain the Severity of a 
Traumatic Brain Injury? 
These three factors help doctors explain the severity of a traumatic 
brain injury to patients and their families: 
   Location of the injury: The injury may occur in four brain 
lobes, the cerebellum or any part of the brain stem. Injury can 
cause brain bleeding, swelling, tearing /rupture of nerve tissue, 
compression of nerve tissue and increased intracranial pressure 
in the injured area.
  Loss of consciousness: Doctors classify traumatic brain injury 
as mild injuries, moderate injuries, or serious injuries. To 
determine the classification, doctors consider the length of time 
when the patient loses consciousness and the patient’s mental 
state when consciousness regains.
What are the Effects of a Traumatic Brain Injury? 
Traumatic brain injury patients experience a wide range of effects. Each 
patient is dissimilar and each injury produces different results. The list 
below provides a general description of the possible effects. Patients do 
not necessarily experience all of the listed effects. It is important to 
remember that, without experiencing the specific effects of patients, the 
effects of brain injury are severe and might be permanent.
When to see the Doctor?
According to  Dr Shailesh Jain AIIMS Neurosurgeon, If 
you or your family member has received a blow to the 
head or body that concerns you or causes behavioral 
changes then directly Seek emergency medical care if 
there are any signs or symptoms of traumatic brain 
injury following a recent blow or other traumatic injury 
to the head. These brain injuries don’t take it lightly 
because a mild injury to the brain is still a serious injury 
that requires prompt attention and an accurate 
diagnosis.
SPINAL CORD INJURIES BY DR. SHAILESH JAIN
The brain sends and receives messages through the spinal cord and 
nerves (just like cars traveling east to west on a highway).  The main 
messages are MOTOR and SENSORY. MOTOR messages help you to do 
things like move your arms/legs, dance and balance. SENSORY 
messages help you to feel things like pain, pressure, differentiate 
between hot and cold or rough and smooth. When someone sustains 
a spinal cord injury, it ruins the highway that closes down the system. 
Spinal cord injury is an injury to the spinal cord which blocks 
communication between the brain and the body. 
How Do Doctors Explain the Severity of a Spinal 
Cord  Injury? 
The Four descriptions of the patient’s injury help doctors explain the 
severity of a spinal cord injury to patients and their families: 
    The level (location on the spine) of the injury: The level of an injury is 
described in the section of the spinal column and number of the affected 
spinal nerve/vertebrae.
   The amount of damage to the spinal cord: Doctors describe the 
amount of damage to the spinal cord using two terms: COMPLETE or 
INCOMPLETE. 
   Complete Injuries: Complete injuries cause damage that spreads 
through the entire spine. It will be like a wreck that closes all lanes of 
traffic. No message is able to get around the injury. This type of injury 
means that the patient has no movement (motor ability) or feeling 
(sensory ability) under the injury, and is unable to control the bowel or 
bladder.
  Incomplete Injuries: Incomplete injuries cause partial damage to the 
spinal cord. This would be like a wreck on the highway that shuts down a 
few lanes of traffic, but not all. Some messages (Sensory or motor) may 
be able to get around the injury and  this type of injury means that the 
patient may feel some movement or feeling under the injury. 
What are the Effects of a Spinal Cord Injury? 
Spinal cord injury patients experience a wide range of impacts/ Effects. 
Each patient is dissimilar; each injury creates different results. The list 
below provides a general list of potential Effects. Patients do not 
necessarily experience all the impacts listed below. Effects can be 
categorized as physical, emotional, and daily living. It is important to 
remember that, without experiencing the specific effects of patients, the 
effects of spinal cord injury are severe and permanent.
When to see the Doctor?
According to  Dr Shailesh Jain, Anyone who experiences 
significant trauma to his/ her head or neck needs 
immediate medical evaluation for the possibility of a 
spinal cord injury.
