Texas Brain Institute, LLC – with its clinical partner the Neurography Institute in Santa Monica (California) is a leading source in diagnosing and treating disabling nerve pain syndromes that develop after many types of traumas – particularly motor vehicle accidents.

Among the most important areas of disabling nerve pain after car accidents are Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS). This is a condition that affects the bundle of nerves that travel from the neck to the shoulder that control and carry pain signals from the sides of the neck, back of the neck, shoulder, arm, and hand. This bundle of nerves is called the “brachial plexus.”

Proving the details of a nerve entrapment – such as Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS) has been elusive in the past. A common causation of TOS is whiplash. Here at Texas Brain Institute, in conjunction with the Neurography Institute, we utilize a novel way to assess nerve injury or painful nerve entrapment by MR Neurography imaging.

Nerves are invisible in standard MRI, but with MR Neurography, nerves are visible (like a blood vessel in an MR angiogram) and injuries and nerve entrapments are distinct (bright and clear, standing out from normal nerve).

Magnetic Resonance Neurography (MRN) is in over 500 peer-reviewed medical publications.
