The Brain Injury Struggle: When You’ve Tried Everything

Still suffering headaches, brain fog, or memory loss after an injury?

Has depression, anxiety, or irritability followed your concussion or brain injury?

Are you frustrated that physical therapy and meds haven’t improved your focus or energy?

If so, you’re not alone, and options still exist. Many with TBI or post-concussion syndrome feel stuck because treatments often manage symptoms instead of fixing the root problem: disrupted brain circuits and poor neuroplasticity.

At SeeBeyond Medicine, we know brain injuries cause electrical disruptions in the networks controlling thoughts, emotions, and movement. Medications can’t always fix these electrical issues. We use an integrative approach targeting the true source of your symptoms.

What is TMS Therapy for Brain Injury Rehabilitation?

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is an FDA-cleared therapy that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate brain areas affected by injury. It targets damaged or underperforming brain circuits directly, unlike medications that affect the whole body. TMS helps restore normal brain activity and boosts the brain’s healing.

Research shows TMS aids recovery after brain injury by increasing brain activity and neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to rewire itself. This can improve cognitive and motor functions lost due to trauma. Repetitive TMS (rTMS) is effective for common post-injury issues like depression, headaches, attention problems, and difficulties with decision-making.

TMS pulses create electric currents that stimulate neurons in specific brain regions, like the prefrontal cortex, important for mood, decisions, and control: areas often damaged by TBI. By improving brain plasticity and forming new connections, TMS can help repair circuits and restore lost functions.

While TMS is approved for depression and OCD, its use for traumatic brain injury and post-concussion syndrome is an emerging application, supported by growing evidence and positive research.

Why Our Brain Injury Rehabilitation Program is Different

At SeeBeyond Medicine, we don’t just stimulate your brain: we optimize your brain, not just treat it.

Unlike standard TMS clinics that offer magnetic stimulation in isolation, we’ve developed an Enhanced TMS Protocol specifically designed to maximize your brain’s healing potential after injury. Our comprehensive, four-pillar approach addresses not only the electrical disruptions in your brain circuits but also the underlying biochemical, inflammatory, and lifestyle factors that can prevent true recovery.

Our Enhanced TMS Protocol includes:

  1. Neurotransmitter Testing (Pre & Post-Treatment)
    We measure your actual neurotransmitter levels: including serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, and GABA: before and after your TMS course. This allows us to track real, measurable changes in your brain chemistry and customize your treatment to address your unique imbalances, not just treat generic symptoms.
  2. Calm IV Therapy
    During your TMS sessions, we administer specialized intravenous infusions containing therapeutic doses of Magnesium and B Vitamins. These nutrients support neurotransmitter production, reduce neuroinflammation (a major contributor to post-injury symptoms), calm an overactive nervous system, and create the optimal biochemical environment for your brain to heal and respond to TMS.
  3. Integrated Acupuncture Sessions
    We combine TMS with acupuncture, an evidence-based therapy shown to enhance neuroplasticity by increasing Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF)—a vital protein that promotes the growth and survival of neurons. Acupuncture also reduces inflammation, improves circulation to the brain, and helps regulate the stress response that often becomes dysregulated after brain injury.
  4. Health Coach Brain Health Sessions
    Your recovery continues after you leave our clinic. Our health coaches work with you personally to improve nutrition, sleep, stress, supplements, and brain exercises. This guidance makes sure your daily life helps your brain heal.
  5. This integrated approach is our difference. We avoid generic treatments and quick fixes. Instead, we find and fix the core electrical, chemical, inflammatory, and lifestyle issues stopping your full recovery.

Is TMS for Brain Injury Rehabilitation Right for You?

TMS therapy for brain injury rehabilitation may be an ideal option if you:

  • Have been frustrated by limited results from traditional rehabilitation therapies alone
  • Experience persistent cognitive symptoms like brain fog, memory problems, difficulty concentrating, or slow processing speed months or years after your injury​
  • Struggle with post-injury depression, anxiety, irritability, or mood instability that hasn’t responded adequately to antidepressants​
  • Suffer from chronic post-concussion headaches or migraines​
  • Are looking for a non-pharmacological, non-invasive approach to accelerate your neurological recovery​
  • Want to enhance your brain’s natural neuroplasticity and create lasting improvements in cognitive and motor function
  • Prefer a comprehensive, root-cause approach that addresses the electrical, chemical, and lifestyle factors affecting your brain health

Although the FDA approves TMS for depression and OCD, using it for traumatic brain injury and post-concussion syndrome is off-label. Still, promising research and studies show TMS significantly helps TBI patients. Evidence indicates it can reduce pain, improve thinking, boost motor skills, and ease neuropsychiatric symptoms after brain injury.

Your Questions About TMS for Brain Injury Rehabilitation

What does TMS for brain injury feel like?

TMS is a comfortable, non-invasive procedure. During treatment, you’ll feel a gentle tapping sensation on your scalp as the magnetic pulses are delivered. Most patients find the experience relaxing and use the time to rest, listen to music, or even catch up on reading. There’s no anesthesia required, and you can resume your normal activities immediately after each session.​

How long is a TMS session?

Individual TMS sessions typically last between 20 to 40 minutes, depending on the specific protocol designed for your brain injury rehabilitation needs. A complete treatment course usually involves daily sessions, five days per week, for several weeks—though the exact duration will be personalized based on your symptoms and response to treatment.

What kind of improvements can I expect?

Research shows that TMS for brain injury can lead to improvements in multiple areas, including reduced depressive symptoms, decreased anxiety, better sleep quality, increased motivation, improved concentration and focus, reduction in headaches, enhanced cognitive processing speed, improved executive function, and greater emotional stability. Many patients report that combining TMS with our functional medicine approach leads to more comprehensive and lasting recovery than TMS alone.​

Why do you combine TMS with functional medicine?

Because brain injuries are complex, multi-system problems that require multi-system solutions. While TMS addresses the electrical disruptions in your brain circuits, our Enhanced Protocol also targets inflammation, neurotransmitter imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, and lifestyle factors that can prevent complete healing. This comprehensive approach gives your brain every possible advantage for recovery.

Is TMS safe after a brain injury?

Yes. TMS is a non-invasive therapy with an excellent safety profile and minimal side effects. Unlike medications, TMS doesn’t cause systemic side effects, and because it doesn’t require surgery or anesthesia, there’s no recovery time needed. During your initial consultation, we’ll review your complete medical history and imaging (if available) to ensure TMS is appropriate and safe for your specific type of brain injury.

How soon after my injury can I start TMS?

Research suggests that starting rehabilitation early can have a positive impact on functional recovery. However, the optimal timing depends on your individual case, type of injury, and current symptoms. Our team will work with you and your other healthcare providers to determine the best time to begin TMS therapy as part of your overall brain injury rehabilitation plan.​

Does insurance cover TMS for brain injury?

At SeeBeyond Medicine, we are a private-pay, concierge-style practice that does not participate with insurance companies. This allows us to dedicate the time, attention, and comprehensive care necessary to achieve optimal outcomes without the limitations imposed by insurance protocols. We focus on delivering value through superior results, personalized treatment, and a level of care that simply isn’t possible within traditional insurance-based models.
