Our treatment programs have been designed to facilitate optimum recovery for stroke and traumatic brain injury, as well as Alzheimer's, arthritis, autism, cardiovascular disease, cerebral palsy, cognitive disorders, incontinence, memory loss, near drowing, non-healing wounds, Parkinson's, radiation and other burns, swallowing disorders, and sudden deafness.

Many diseases of the nerves, muscles, organs and tissues have brain damage at their roots. Where the brain damage occurs will determine which nerve, muscle, organ or tissue is affected. At the Brain Therapeutics Medical Clinic, an individualized treatment program is created for each patient depending upon the location, severity and time that has elapsed since their injury.

We also treat any disease your general practitioner deals with. The difference is that we believe in pinpointing the cause of your disease and then designing a protocol for you that addresses the underlying issues to optimize your recovery.

OUR BEGINNINGS IN NEURO-REHAB

Dr. Steenblock has been practicing wholistic medicine for about twenty years in Southern California. About twelve years ago, he became interested in hyperbaric oxygen for healing and purchased a monoplace hyperbaric oxygen chamber for treating his patients.

One day he got a call from a patient whose mother had just had a stroke and had been taken to the hospital. The mother was totally paralyzed on her left side. She was brought to his clinic in an ambulance and was immediately placed in the hyperbaric oxygen chamber. After 24 hours of alternating Hyperbaric Oxygen and Intravenous Therapies, she was able to walk out of the clinic without assistance, with virtually 95-98% recovery of all of her faculties.

In case after case that followed, Dr. Steenblock saw the immense benefits of HBO for stroke and brain injured patients. He began developing a comprehensive neuro- rehabilitation program that now combines Hyperbaric Oxygen with other wholistic therapies such as nutritional counseling, physical and occupational therapies, biofeedback, neuro-feedback, acupuncture, and pulsed electromagnetic treatments. These therapies work synergistically (the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts) to improve the patient's quality of life. Cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury and autistic patients have brain damage that also responds to these different but synergistic therapies.

In the Doctor's words, "It's very rewarding to see patients who have been told that nothing can be done for them and then see them become excited when their lost functions return. Even though not everyone regains use of their limbs, more than 90% of our patients experience improvement in at least one of their problem areas. This is especially rewarding when you realize that the majority of our patients come to us for treatment two and three years after their brain injury. Usually they have gone through conventional treatments and have 'stabilized' and have not gotten better for the last year or more."
