Meet James Brown. In his first year of law school he began experiencing noticeable neurological symptoms. An MRI scan revealed a massive brain tumor. Though doctors anticipated a smooth recovery after surgery, James faced serious complications that left him in a coma for two months and dealing with lasting disabilities. But instead of giving up, he chose to fight back. He returned to Colorado, became a father, and boldly started a new career in web programming. Along the way he earned a master’s degree in philosophy from the University of Illinois. Now living in Texas, James dedicates his time to leading multiple support groups, helping others navigate life after brain injury. He shares practical tips for managing day-to-day life, the value of having a structured routine, and the vital role support groups play in recovery. He also reflects on the emotional and philosophical aspects of living with a brain injury, offering wisdom, hope, and encouragement to anyone facing their own "new normal."

Rewiring Hope: Transforming Stroke Recovery with Vivistim 24:29

6 weeks ago24:29

24:29

Imagine regaining movement after years of immobility. Julie Graham, OT and therapy development specialist at MicroTransponder, discusses her extensive 20-year career in occupational therapy and her work with Vivistim, a device designed for chronic ischemic stroke survivors. Vivistim pairs vagus nerve stimulation with physical and occupational therapy to enhance neuroplasticity and regain motor functions in the affected upper extremity. Julie explains the role of the vagus nerve in rewiring the brain's connections and how Vivistim is different from e-stim (external electrical stimulation). While the FDA has only approved Vivistim for chronic ischemic survivors, there are multiple studies for all types of brain injury, so Julie hopes access will be expanded soon. She also shares real-life success stories of stroke survivors who have regained significant abilities.

Dr. Brandon Crawford, a prominent neurologist and researcher, discusses his journey into the field of developmental functional neurology and how through the use of PhotoBioModulation, incorporated with traditional neurological treatments, revolutionizes brain injury recovery. He is renowned in the field of photobiomodulation, or laser therapy, and its role in accelerating neuroplasticity and enhancing brain function. Influenced by personal as well as professional experiences, Dr. Crawford explains the differences between traditional and functional neurology; all the time focusing on brain function, neuroplasticity, energy management, getting to the root cause of neurological dysfunction, and holistic approaches. Additional topics include brain health, hormonal imbalances that can lead to strokes, inflammatory load, immune components and most importantly post-injury care. Listeners are challenged to investigate new, novel therapies as well as grasp the fact that recovery and brain adaptation are ongoing processes and not time limited.

Don’t let transportation stop you! you ever feel isolated? Post brain injury, many struggle with loneliness, often due to life changes, especially a lack of transportation. So what do we do? We get together online, and make new friends. Our guest is Veronica Corrin, OT, with Rehab Without Walls, an at home and in community neuro-based rehab. She started the Brain Injury Virtual Connect (BIVC), a weekly Wednesday group meeting, four years ago, which has now grown to include a Friday Coffee Chat and a Saturday survivor led Peer Party Chat. The weekly BIVC meetings cover a wide range of topics, from a group round table, where members get to ask a question to the group and everyone gets to respond, to playing games, like Family Feud, to focused discussions, like how to survive the holidays with a brain injury. It’s like a variety show: a little something for everyone. They also offer two in-person events per year, one in Houston and one in DFW, but are looking at adding more cities soon. We all need a place to connect, where people are looking forward to seeing you, who miss you when you're gone. Virtual connecting also makes in person connecting easier. Take the first step. To join a meeting, email Veronica.Corrin@RehabWithoutWalls.com. Everyone is welcome.
