Treatments Offered
At The Neuroscience Center, every treatment is selected with careful attention to a patient's unique diagnosis and medical history, particularly targeting treatment resistance. The facility provides the following cutting-edge options:
- Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT):
A non-invasive therapy that enhances the body’s natural healing processes by delivering 100% oxygen under increased atmospheric pressure. Especially useful for brain injury, stroke recovery, and cognitive dysfunction. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Treatment:
Specialized interventions including pharmacological and non-pharmacological strategies to address persistent and disruptive OCD symptoms, especially in patients with prior unsuccessful treatments.- Pathfinder Brain SPECT Imaging:
A diagnostic imaging tool that helps visualize functional activity in the brain, enabling clinicians to map out abnormalities that traditional scans may overlook. This allows for more tailored and accurate treatment planning. - Spravato (Esketamine Nasal Spray):
An FDA-approved treatment for adults with treatment-resistant depression. Administered under medical supervision, Spravato provides rapid relief for those who haven’t responded to oral antidepressants. - TMS/Ketamine Combination Therapy:
A powerful, dual-modality therapy combining Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and Ketamine infusions. This approach addresses severe depression, PTSD, and chronic pain, particularly in patients who have failed multiple prior therapies.
