previously inconclusive evidence because we weren't taking a lot into account.. definitive link between Blasts at varying intensities & neurological disorders? theres alot of info and quotes from specialists. as a former combat engineer with MS ( recently diagnosed ) this is something to consider http://www.nationalgeographic.com/healing-soldiers/blast-force.html

Thanks for posting and for bringing attention to this, a very good article, and reminded me of some conversations I've had with my cousin. He's a Vietnam era Marine now Chiropractic doctor working for the USMC, he's told me about the "unseen" injuries, namely from the blast that the article touches on. He's had great results helping relieve pain and help folks achieve a better quality of life. I wish that I could do more justice to the amazing stories he's told, I guess we'll leave it at they were compelling to say the least.

thanks Lt Col. the more i read about all this and my current situation i am trying to reach out to my old units and see if anyone else has developed any neurological disorders, my main unit ( national guard ) was spotty at best with record keeping so its doubtful they got it, just wonder if this is something the DoD is taking into account. Combat Engineer BNs should correlate if there was a connection. and i believe there is.
thats wonderful he can help people relieve pain. chiropractic / massage therapy have been great in helping the aches & pains associated with MS thus far so i can only imagine its benefits on other areas. Hooah Sir!

Since 2008, we have an intensive multidisciplinary inpatient program at Tampa VA, PREP (Post-deployment Rehab & Evaluation Program) working w SM and veteran with TBI symptoms as a result of blast, overpressure, low level blast and blunt trauma. We evaluate and rehab for symptoms of persistent TBI.
While we don’t have all the answers about the science, we have cared for thousands and hope to continue helping and finding out answers for the greatest injury of GwOT
