TBI & Concussion Support in Metairie: Regenerative Research Questions
Updated: Oct 1
Updated October 1, 2026. This article has been revised to clarify the role of supportive care and the experimental status of proposed regenerative treatments.
A traumatic brain injury or concussion needs appropriate medical care. Call 911 or seek emergency care for danger signs after a head injury, including a worsening headache, repeated vomiting, seizures, weakness, slurred speech, increasing confusion or difficulty waking. Do not delay emergency evaluation or recommended surgery to pursue an experimental treatment.
Support after the initial injury
After medical stabilization, persistent difficulties with memory, concentration, sleep, mood or daily function should be discussed with the treating clinician. Recovery needs vary. Follow the individualized return-to-activity and rehabilitation plan from your care team, and report symptoms that persist or worsen.
Infinite Health Integrative Medicine Center in Metairie provides physician-led neurocognitive evaluations with Trip Goolsby, MD for adults in Greater New Orleans and the Gulf South. The consultation considers ongoing concerns within the broader health picture and alongside neurological and rehabilitation care.
What do stem-cell and exosome studies mean for TBI?
Research into cells and cell-derived products includes laboratory, animal and early human work. Evidence of a biological mechanism or improvement in an animal model is not proof that a commercial product repairs a person's brain or improves recovery.
Stem cells, Wharton's jelly-derived products and exosomes are different categories. A tissue source or “regenerative” label does not establish product contents, treatment benefit or safety. Ask which evidence applies to the exact product, route and injury being discussed.
Experimental approaches require careful questions
There are no FDA-approved exosome products. This page does not present stem-cell, Wharton's jelly or exosome products as established TBI treatments. Discuss regulatory requirements, relevant human studies, potential harm, alternatives and any required clinical-trial oversight before considering an experimental approach.
Infinite Health does not offer platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Earlier wording about PRP and “transformative” results should not be understood as evidence that a regenerative treatment repairs TBI. No outcome can be promised for an individual patient.
What can I discuss with Infinite Health?
Trip Goolsby, MD reviews the injury history, existing diagnoses and care, medications, available records, current symptoms and goals. Sleep, nutrition, metabolic and hormone health, physical activity and other relevant factors may be considered. This does not replace neurology, rehabilitation, emergency care or recommended treatment.
Planning a consultation
Bring relevant hospital, neurology and rehabilitation records, available imaging reports and a current medication and supplement list. With your permission, a family member or care partner can help describe changes and ask questions.
Begin with a free discovery call with a wellness coordinator to discuss services and fit. The call does not provide medical advice; the physician consultation is a separate appointment. Any regenerative procedures are priced separately from membership and are not billed to insurance.
