SERVICES FOR VETERANS AND
ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY
An estimated 15.2%-22.8% of troops returning from service have sustained at least one Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). That means about 320,000 individuals have experienced the dizziness, headache, memory loss, and other symptoms that accompany a TBI, leaving them at risk for post-concussive syndrome (PCS) or future neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, CTE, or Parkinson’s.
Kaizen offers a range of TBI diagnostic and treatment services for active and retired military personnel, starting with a no-cost PCS screening.

PTSD – OR PCS?
Symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Post-Concussive Syndrome (PCS) can be similar, which can sometimes lead to misdiagnosis and missed opportunities for treatment.
Overlapping Symptoms of PTSD and PCS
- Negative thoughts
- Hopelessness
- Memory problems
- Feeling detached from family and friends
- Lack of interest in activities
- Difficulty experiencing positive emotions
- Feeling emotionally numb
- Irritability or angry outbursts
- Self-destructive behavior, such as drinking too much
- Trouble sleeping
- Trouble concentrating
THE TBI SPECTRUM
Over many years, a small percentage of individuals with PCS may develop memory disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, ALS, Parkinson’s-like motor disorders, or Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE). These disorders damage brain cells, causing difficulties with memory, mood/emotions, or movement. Symptoms of memory disorders can be debilitating, and typically worsen over time. Early treatment at the PCS stage can help stop or slow disease progression, or reduce symptoms.
