Recognized Center of Excellence in TBI Treatment Since 2006 — New Jersey & New York
At Allied Neurology & Interventional Pain Practice (ANIPP), our mission is clear — to identify, treat, and ultimately eradicate the silent epidemic of untreated Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Led by Dr. Dariusz Nasiek, MD — a triple board‑certified physician in anesthesiology, pain medicine, and interventional pain management with over 35 years of clinical experience — and Dr. Zyad Chaudhary, MD — a board‑certified neurologist specializing in TBI diagnosis, post‑traumatic injuries, and advanced electrodiagnostic studies — our multidisciplinary team has been transforming TBI care across New Jersey and New York since 2006.
Every year, millions of Americans sustain a traumatic brain injury, yet an alarming number walk away from car accidents, workplace injuries, slip‑and‑fall incidents, and sports collisions with hidden neurological damage that goes undiagnosed for months or even years. Research from the landmark TRACK‑TBI study confirms that more than 50 % of mild TBI patients remain symptomatic beyond six months. At ANIPP, we refuse to let a single brain injury go undetected.
Why Early TBI Detection Saves Lives
Vigilance is everyone’s responsibility. Whether you are a physician, therapist, employer, or family member, recognizing the subtle warning signs of TBI can open the door to life‑changing care. Symptoms that are frequently dismissed or misattributed include persistent headaches and migraines, dizziness and balance problems, memory lapses and brain fog, mood swings, irritability, and personality changes, chronic fatigue and sleep disturbances, difficulty concentrating or making decisions, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), and sensitivity to light or noise.
These symptoms can appear days, weeks, or even months after the initial trauma, which is precisely why many concussions are missed in the emergency room. At ANIPP, we educate our community, clinical partners, and referring attorneys to look beyond the obvious, because early diagnosis is the single most powerful first step toward recovery.
Advanced TBI Diagnostic Program — Going Beyond Standard Imaging
Standard CT scans and conventional MRI often miss the microscopic damage that defines mild and moderate TBI. That is why ANIPP offers one of the most comprehensive TBI diagnostic programs in the tri‑state area, combining cutting‑edge technology with detailed clinical evaluation.
- Every patient begins with an in‑depth neurological evaluation and a structured symptom questionnaire designed to document the full scope of post‑concussion effects.
- Advanced neuroimaging includes high‑resolution MRI and, when indicated, Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI MRI) — a specialized technique that visualizes white‑matter tract integrity and reveals axonal damage invisible to conventional scans. Our neuroradiology specialists integrate the latest imaging modalities to deliver accurate, evidence‑based diagnoses.
- Electrodiagnostic brain studies such as EEG, Video EEG, and Tele‑EEG, performed under the direction of Dr. Zyad Chaudhary, MD, measure real‑time electrical brain activity and detect abnormalities that confirm functional impairment.
- Neurocognitive and neuropsychological testing objectively measures the real‑world impact of brain injury on memory, attention, processing speed, and executive function — providing critical documentation for both treatment planning and legal proceedings.
- Psychiatric and psychological assessments identify emotional and behavioral consequences such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and personality changes that frequently accompany TBI. Our psychiatric specialists are trained in advanced, evidence‑based modalities including transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and ketamine‑assisted therapy.
Individualized, Multidisciplinary TBI Treatment Under One Roof
Diagnosis is only the beginning. ANIPP’s integrated care model ensures that every patient receives a personalized treatment plan addressing the physical, cognitive, and emotional dimensions of brain injury — all coordinated by our in‑house team of neurologists, pain specialists, psychiatrists, psychologists, and rehabilitation professionals.
- Targeted medication management to improve sleep quality, reduce neuroinflammation, and enhance cognitive performance.
- Vestibular and balance rehabilitation for patients experiencing dizziness, vertigo, and coordination deficits after head trauma.
- Cognitive rehabilitation therapy to rebuild memory, attention, and executive function so patients can return to work, school, and daily life.
- Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) — a minimally invasive, science‑backed procedure personally performed by Dr. Nasiek — that targets the sympathetic nervous system to rapidly reduce symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, depression, and autonomic dysfunction. Published research, including a 2020 JAMA Psychiatry randomized controlled trial and a 2024 study showing 96 % improvement in TBI patients with PTSD, supports SGB as a breakthrough intervention for treatment‑resistant mental health symptoms.
- Ketamine infusion therapy for the rapid reversal of severe depression, anxiety, and PTSD symptoms that have not responded to conventional treatment.
- Interventional pain procedures, including nerve blocks, epidural injections, and regenerative medicine techniques such as PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) therapy for persistent post‑traumatic pain — an area in which Dr. Nasiek is a published authority and author of PRP — Platelet Rich Plasma: A New Paradigm for Regenerative Medicine.
Every treatment plan evolves through continuous monitoring, regular re‑evaluation, and seamless collaboration between specialists — ensuring that care adapts as recovery progresses.
Published Authors, Trusted Experts, Proven Results
ANIPP is not just a medical practice — it is a recognized Center of Excellence in TBI treatment. Dr. Nasiek serves as editor and co‑author of the acclaimed book Brain Impact: Navigating Traumatic Brain Injury After Accidents (2nd Edition, 2025), a comprehensive, patient‑centered guide written by ANIPP’s own multidisciplinary team covering everything from early detection and advanced diagnostics to mental health treatment, rehabilitation, and legal guidance.
Our commitment to patient empowerment extends to the TBI Risk Assessment App, available for iPhone and Android, which allows accident victims and their families to check symptoms anytime, anywhere — and take the first step toward professional evaluation.
A Medical Duty and a Public Health Mission
At Allied Neurology & Interventional Pain Practice, we see TBI care as both a clinical responsibility and a public health imperative. Through education, community outreach, advanced screening, and coordinated multidisciplinary care, we work every day to ensure that no brain injury remains undetected and no patient faces recovery alone.
If you or a loved one has been involved in a motor vehicle accident, workplace injury, slip‑and‑fall, or any incident involving head trauma — do not wait for symptoms to worsen. Contact ANIPP today for a comprehensive TBI evaluation.
Working together, we transform vigilance into healing — and bring every injured brain back to action.
