It is possible to change your brain and your life in as little as 5 days!! Your brain controls your body, your mind, and your entire experience of the world. A concussion or other neurological challenge can make you act, move, and feel in ways that are completely uncharacteristic of you. You may feel like "the old you" is gone and have lost hope in that person ever coming back. I want you to know that you are still in there. And I will leave no stone unturned until we get "you" back.
In order to create YOUR unique treatment plan, we collect data on how well your brain is working. We assess cognitive function, emotional status, balance, gait (walking), motor coordination, timing, awareness of your body and space, vision, eye movements … even organ function. When a good doctor realizes that when they're working with the brain, everything matters.
Analyze
The brain is like a computer. It collects information from the world, combines it, and responds. Nothing is ever processed in isolation, so a neurologist should never look at findings in isolation. Once we have performed an assessment, we scrutinize the findings to create an individualized, unique, treatment plan to create or restore your brain's integrity.
Action
Experts in brain rehabilitation know how the brain remodels through 10 principles of plasticity. We also know that every person and every brain condition is unique, so there is no protocol. However, like a recipe, each rehab program must include specific ingredients (therapies), proportions (intensity), and directions (sequencing). That's what we have mastered.
JUST A FEW OF OUR...
Functional Neurology Treatment Modalities
Vision and Orthoptic Therapy
Vision is your most dominant and conscious sense. That allows us to use visual stimuli (light, patterns, objects), and eye movements, to alter how your brain processes the visual world.
Vestibular Rehab
Usually only associated with dizziness, vestibular system is the first sense to form, so all other senses are thought to be built on top of it. Correcting or improving vestibular function can affect nearly every other brain function... even emotions.
Off-Axis Rotation
This form of sensory-motor integration therapy, performed in the FDA-Approved GyroStim®, synchronizes your vestibular, visual, and proprioceptive systems create better spatial, cognitive, and autonomic processing.
Rehabilitative Therapy
Sensation and movement have a two-way relationship. We often call this integration "coordination". Dr. Antonucci is certified in Physiotherapy by the NBCE and implements these modalities with his patients.
Transcutaneous Vagal Nerve Stimulation
The Vagus nerve is a two-directional nerve that innervates most of your vital organs and also provides healing stimulation to many neural networks in the brainstem and forebrain.
Cognitive Therapy and Virtual Reality
Therapies that you can sense (see, feel, etc) are called ReceptorBased therapies. We also perform Cognitive Based therapies that help with awareness, attention, thinking, emotional control, and more.
Transcranial Photobiomodulation
Infrared light has the ability to painlessly penetrate deep into your brain. This wavelength of light activates the power-plant of your cell to provide energy, blood flow, oxygenation, and stimulate stem cells.
Chiropractic
The chiropractic manipulation is a safe, effective and powerful tool to decrease pain (neck, back, and body pain, as well as headaches), and restore joint motion and body awareness.
Molecular Hydrogen Therapy
Molecular Hydrogen is a powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, provider of cellular energy and healing, that can benefit nearly every neurological and non-neurological condition.
Hyperbaric Oxygen (HBOT)
Every cell, especially those in your brain, need oxygen. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy increases the amount of oxygen to your tissue, reduces inflammation, increases stem cell production, and healing.
qEEG-Guided Neurofeedback
By measuring the electricity that your brain cells produce, we can create an activity map of your brain. We then use a computer and a sensory stimulus to coach your brain back to normal function.
Functional Medicine
Blood, saliva and other bodily fluids allow us to measure how well your brain is controlling your organs and vice versa. Based on that data we can prescribe diets and supplements to safely restore function.
