At SeeBeyond Medicine, we offer an innovative approach to stroke recovery that goes beyond conventional rehabilitation. Our physician-led program combines cutting-edge Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) with functional medicine to help restore brain function, improve motor skills, and enhance cognitive abilities without relying solely on medications or standard physical therapy.
The Stroke Recovery Struggle: When You’ve Tried Everything
Have you or your loved one reached a plateau in stroke recovery despite months of traditional rehabilitation?
Are you frustrated by persistent weakness, speech difficulties, or cognitive challenges that haven’t improved with standard therapies?
Do you find yourself wondering if this is as good as it gets, or if there might be untapped potential for further recovery?
If so, you’re not alone. Many stroke survivors reach a point where conventional rehabilitation seems to stop producing results. This happens because traditional approaches often focus on compensating for lost function rather than addressing the underlying neurological disruption.
At SeeBeyond Medicine, we understand that stroke creates both an electrical and chemical disruption in the brain. When blood flow is interrupted, brain circuits lose their normal connections and communication pathways. This is fundamentally an electrical problem and chemical solutions like medications can’t always fix electrical problems.
What is TMS Therapy for Stroke Rehabilitation?
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive therapy that uses focused magnetic pulses to stimulate and “reawaken” specific areas of the brain affected by stroke. These gentle, precisely targeted pulses help activate dormant neurons and promote neuroplasticity which is your brain’s remarkable ability to form new connections and reorganize itself after injury.
Research shows that TMS can significantly enhance stroke recovery by:
- Stimulating underactive areas of the brain damaged by stroke
- Inhibiting overactive areas that may be interfering with recovery
- Promoting the formation of new neural pathways (neuroplasticity)
- Improving blood flow to affected brain regions
- Reducing post-stroke depression and cognitive impairment
TMS works by delivering magnetic pulses that convert to small electrical currents in targeted brain regions. For stroke rehabilitation, TMS can be applied to specific motor or language areas depending on your deficits. These pulses help “retrain” your brain, strengthening connections that facilitate movement, speech, and cognitive function.
Why Our Stroke Program is Different
Unlike standard rehabilitation centers that offer conventional therapies in isolation, we’ve developed an Enhanced TMS Protocol specifically designed to maximize your brain’s healing potential after stroke. Our comprehensive approach addresses not only the electrical disruptions in your brain circuits but also the underlying biochemical, inflammatory, and metabolic factors that can limit recovery.
Our Enhanced TMS Protocol includes four key components:
Neurotransmitter Testing (Pre & Post-Treatment)
We use advanced biochemical testing, including neurotransmitter metabolite testing, to gain insight into the neurochemical status of your system before and after treatment. By tracking the peripheral changes in key compounds like dopamine and glutamate that are essential for neural repair and plasticity, we are better able to tailor our nutritional, supplement, and IV support to your specific neurochemical needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all protocol.
Calm IV Therapy
During your TMS sessions, we provide specialized intravenous therapy formulated with magnesium, B vitamins, and other neuroprotective nutrients. These compounds support brain cell function, reduce neuroinflammation (which often persists after stroke), and create the optimal biochemical environment for neuroplasticity. IV delivery ensures these critical nutrients bypass digestive limitations and reach the brain rapidly.
Integrated Acupuncture Sessions
Research shows that combining acupuncture with TMS significantly enhances neurological recovery. Acupuncture increases blood flow to the brain, reduces inflammation, and stimulates the release of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF). This is a critical protein that promotes the growth and survival of neurons. This combination therapy has been shown to improve outcomes beyond what either treatment could achieve alone.
Health Coach Brain Health Sessions
Your journey includes personalized guidance from our health coach on evidence-based nutrition, sleep optimization, and stress management strategies specifically designed to support stroke recovery. You’ll receive practical tools to implement the Mediterranean-DASH diet (proven to reduce stroke risk and improve outcomes), optimize sleep (when much of neural repair occurs), and manage stress (which can impair healing).
This integrated approach is what truly sets us apart. Rather than treating isolated symptoms, we address the complete picture of post-stroke recovery including the electrical, chemical, inflammatory, and lifestyle factors that collectively determine how well and how completely your brain can heal.
Your Partners in Healing in NY and CT
At SeeBeyond Medicine, we understand that stroke recovery is a deeply personal journey. Dr. Joon Lee and our specialized team combine evidence-based medicine with a functional approach to create truly individualized care plans. We take the time to listen to your story, understand your unique challenges, and develop a tailored protocol designed to address your specific deficits and recovery goals.
Our Enhanced TMS Protocol for stroke rehabilitation is available at both our Scarsdale, NY, and Greenwich, CT, clinics, making this advanced care accessible to individuals throughout the tri-state area. Whether you’re recovering from an ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, or TIA (mini-stroke), our team is equipped to provide the comprehensive, physician-led care you deserve in a serene, private-pay setting optimized for healing.
We work closely with your existing rehabilitation team, including physical therapists, speech therapists, and occupational therapists, to ensure a coordinated approach that maximizes your recovery potential at every level.
Is TMS for Stroke Rehabilitation Right for You?
Our Enhanced TMS Protocol for stroke recovery may be ideal if you:
- Have reached a plateau in your recovery despite conventional rehabilitation
- Experience persistent weakness, paralysis, or spasticity in affected limbs
- Struggle with aphasia, dysarthria, or other communication difficulties
- Have post-stroke cognitive challenges such as memory problems, mental fatigue, or difficulty concentrating
- Are dealing with post-stroke depression or anxiety
- Seek to enhance neuroplasticity and accelerate your recovery beyond what traditional approaches have achieved
- Prefer a comprehensive, non-pharmaceutical approach to rehabilitation
- Are motivated to participate actively in your recovery process
Our team follows carefully developed protocols designed to maximize your recovery potential. At SeeBeyond Medicine, we’ve seen how TMS can help stroke survivors make meaningful progress even after traditional therapies have reached their limits, which is why we’re proud to offer this advanced option as part of our specialized stroke rehabilitation services.
Begin Your Journey to Lasting Relief
Stroke recovery doesn’t have to end at a plateau. At SeeBeyond Medicine, we’ve helped countless patients break through recovery barriers and achieve gains they thought were no longer possible.
Dr. Lee and our team firmly believe that healing is always possible, especially when we address the root causes of dysfunction rather than merely managing symptoms. By combining advanced neurostimulation technology with our functional medicine expertise, we create the optimal conditions for your brain to heal, adapt, and recover.
Your journey toward enhanced function begins with understanding why you’ve reached a plateau and precisely targeting those specific barriers with scientific precision and compassionate care.
