March is Brain Injury Awareness Month, and we’re kicking it off by busting some old-school myths.

Today we understand that even mild concussions deserve thoughtful evaluation. Early care protects memory, balance, mood, and long-term brain health.

You should know the signs of traumatic brain injury, both for yourself and the people you love.

These are some signs to watch out for:
- Headache or pressure in the head
- Dizziness or balance problems
- Nausea or vomiting
- Blurred vision
- Feeling confused or “foggy”
- Memory trouble
- Mood changes
- Unusual drowsiness

Symptoms can show up right away — or hours to days later.

Seek immediate medical care if there is:
- Repeated vomiting
- Worsening headache
- Slurred speech
- Weakness or numbness
- Seizure
- Loss of consciousness
- Increasing confusion or agitation

It’s never too late to be seen, especially if symptoms are worsening. If something feels off, trust that instinct. Your brain is worth paying attention to.

In the Denver region, we offer specialized Adult Concussion Clinics where specialized nurse practitioners have extensive experience in traumatic brain injuries are ready to provide thorough assessments and treatment plans. Learn more here: Adult Concussion Clinic

If you’re experiencing pain from spinal stenosis (which could be back aches, neck pain, sciatica, maybe even numbness and tingling), you’re probably looking for the fastest and easiest way to relief.

For quick relief from new pain, we recommend a couple types of over-the-counter pain relievers. In some cases, this along with light stretching is enough for people to move on with their lives, and the pain eventually subsides.

But, if pain lasts over 2 weeks, it’s time to see a specialist who can do a full analysis and get you on track to safe and medication free pain relief.

One of our pain management specialists Tyler Woodworth MD wrote a full blog on this subject. To learn more check it out at the blog here: https://www.neurosurgeryone.com/blog/best-painkiller-for-spinal-stenosis/

Greg is a lifelong motorized bike enthusiast and rider. From from go-karts and mini bikes to on-road and off-road motorcycles, he’s always ridden hard.

But when debilitating back pain set in, he found himself barely able to walk more than 50 feet, let alone get on a bike.

When Greg met with Dr. Beckman and his team, they talked through his options and decided the TOPS procedure was the right fit to help ease his back pain while maintaining the motion he needed to keep living the life he wanted.

Just days after the procedure Greg was back on his feet, and a full recovery led him back on his bike. Not just cruising along, either! But as Greg puts it: Going full on Mad Max style!

Pain doesn’t always stop us all at once. Sometimes it quietly changes what feels possible until one day you realize you almost forgot what it’s like to do that thing you love.

Getting answers doesn’t mean just rushing into treatment. It can look like talking with a specialist to better understand your options and what’s possible for you.

Let the new year be a chance to gain clarity and explore care that’s focused on helping you return to what you love!
