Stroke recovery with neurological treatment

The conventional stroke-recovery window is often described as three to six months. After that, you are told your recovery is what it is. That is not what we see in clinic, and it is not what this patient experienced.

Several years after the original stroke, the patient still had measurable weakness, speech that tired quickly, and gait issues. They had completed the standard rehab arc and had been told they had plateaued.

Dr. Cruz was trained directly by Dr. Edward Tobinick, MD, who pioneered Perispinal Etanercept. We administered PSE using the full protocol, including the head-down maneuver that carries medication into the central nervous system, and followed with ongoing evaluation.

Within weeks, the patient reported clearer speech, better coordination, and renewed stamina. Recovery continued month over month. Stroke recovery does not have to end when the insurance company says it does.
