Brain Injury Recovery Program In Calabasas

Experiencing a traumatic brain injury (TBI) can turn routine tasks—walking the dog along Mulholland Highway, remembering a colleague’s name, or driving the 101—into daily challenges. The Brain Injury Recovery Program at California Brain & Spine Institute delivers an integrated, non-surgical pathway that blends the newest neuroscience with compassionate, step-by-step coaching so you can reclaim your life in Calabasas and the surrounding West Valley communities.

What Is a Brain Injury Recovery Program?

A Brain Injury Recovery Program is a structured series of evidence-based therapies that accelerate neural repair, retrain balance and vision systems, and rebuild cognitive stamina—without resorting to scalpels, general anesthesia, or lengthy hospital stays. Instead, we harness neuro-plasticity, the brain’s natural ability to rewire itself after trauma, using data-driven tools such as neurofeedback, vestibular rehabilitation, and plasticity-based cognitive training.

Why it matters: The CDC recorded 214,110 TBI-related hospitalizations in 2020 and 69,473 deaths in 2021—about 190 deaths every day. Most survivors leave the hospital without a clear road map for recovery, underscoring the need for structured outpatient care.

Each Brain Injury Recovery Program plan begins with comprehensive but entirely non-invasive testing—high-resolution qEEG, computerized oculomotor tracking, dynamic posturography, and targeted lab panels. From there, our board-certified interdisciplinary team tailors therapy blocks to your unique goals and injury profile.


Why Choose Our Non-Surgical Approach?

Why Choose Our Non-Surgical Approach?

  1. Lower risk profile – No incisions or anesthesia mean virtually zero surgical complications.

  2. Faster re-entry to life – Typical sessions last 45–60 minutes and fit around work, school, or family commitments.

  3. Measurable progress – Weekly dashboards let you watch dizziness scores fall, reaction-time metrics rise, and brain-wave patterns normalize.

  4. Whole-person gains – By addressing sleep, nutrition, and stress resilience, we amplify neurological improvements and protect long-term brain health.

Research supports this philosophy:

  • Neurofeedback improves immediate and delayed recall in acquired brain-injury populations, according to a recent systematic review.

  • Vestibular rehabilitation slashes dizziness handicap scores and boosts quality of life after concussion.

  • Cognitive training programs enhance processing speed and executive function even months after mild TBI.

Targeted memory-strengthening drills from our Memory Loss Treatment module are woven into this program.


Our Evidence-Based Therapies

Our Evidence-Based Therapies

Neurofeedback

Real-time EEG feedback guides you in producing healthier electrical rhythms. Clinical studies show durable improvements in memory, attention, and self-regulation following structured neurofeedback blocks. SAGE Journals

Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT)

Through gaze-stabilization drills, balance-board exercises, and graded head-movement tasks, VRT recalibrates the vestibulo-ocular reflex—the system that keeps your vision stable when you move. Up to 80 % of patients report meaningful dizziness reduction.

Plasticity-Based Cognitive Training

Gamified software targets working memory, processing speed, and complex reasoning. Randomized trials demonstrate significant gains in higher-order cognition after as little as nine hours of guided practice.

Sensorimotor & Eye–Head Coordination Drills

By integrating vision, proprioception, and vestibular cues, these drills smooth reading endurance, improve depth perception, and reduce motion-triggered headaches.

Targeted Nutritional & Metabolic Counseling

Anti-inflammatory meal plans rich in omega-3s, B-vitamins, and antioxidants fuel synaptic repair and stabilize mood. Custom supplementation corrects any vitamin D or magnesium deficits that could slow neuro-recovery.

Stress-Resilience & Sleep Optimization

Certified specialists teach circadian-friendly routines, breath-work, and light-exposure strategies proven to lower cortisol—the hormone that otherwise prolongs post-TBI inflammation.

Because every therapy in our Brain Injury Recovery Program is non-surgical, clients usually leave sessions energized, ready to practice new skills at work, in class, or on a weekend hike through Upper Las Virgenes Canyon.

Patient Success Stories

“Six weeks after my cycling accident I still felt the room spin. VRT and neurofeedback cut my dizziness by 70 % and I’m back cruising Mulholland Highway.” — Client, 42

“Brain fog made payroll impossible. Eight cognitive-training sessions later, my processing speed jumped and I closed month-end on time.” — Small-business owner, 37

“Our teen struggled with memory after a soccer concussion. The Brain Injury Recovery Program helped her ace finals and regain college-level reading stamina.” — Parent, Calabasas


FAQs

  1. How soon will I notice improvement?
    Many clients feel steadier or think more clearly within 3–4 sessions, though complex cases may need 6–10 weeks for substantial gains.
  2. Are therapies uncomfortable?
    Sessions are designed to challenge—not overwhelm—your nervous system. Temporary eye fatigue or mild dizziness signals productive neural engagement and usually fades within minutes.
  3. Do I need a physician referral?
    Referrals are welcome but not required. You can self-schedule an assessment, and we’ll coordinate results with your primary provider.
  4. Can children enroll?
    Absolutely. Pediatric-friendly protocols use interactive, game-based platforms that keep younger brains engaged while achieving therapeutic goals.
