    Financial Assistance Program

    Brain Injury recovery often requires more than standard care. Specialized therapies have helped many patients reclaim their quality of life — and our Financial Assistance Program exists to make them accessible to everyone who needs them.

    No one should go without care because of cost.

    Our Financial Assistance Program helps TBI survivors access specialized treatments — including standard physical therapy — regardless of their financial situation. Let us help you take the next step.

    Therapies We Support

    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy session

    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) delivers pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber, promoting healing and reducing inflammation in the brain. Many TBI survivors have experienced significant improvements in cognitive function, mood, and overall quality of life through this treatment.

    CranioSacral Therapy session

    CranioSacral Therapy

    CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on approach that releases tensions deep in the body to relieve pain and dysfunction. For TBI survivors, CST can help restore proper flow of cerebrospinal fluid, reduce headaches, and improve neurological function.

    Neurofeedback Therapy session

    Neurofeedback Therapy

    Neurofeedback trains the brain to self-regulate by providing real-time feedback on brainwave activity. This non-invasive therapy helps TBI survivors improve focus, sleep, emotional regulation, and cognitive performance.

    We Don't Stop There

    While Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, CranioSacral Therapy, and Neurofeedback are among the most common treatments we support, our Financial Assistance Program covers a wide range of therapies and treatment modalities — essentially anything that addresses brain injury symptoms and isn't covered by health insurance.

    Every brain injury is different, and recovery isn't one-size-fits-all. If a treatment is helping you heal, we want to help you access it — regardless of whether it fits into a traditional insurance model.

    If you're unsure whether your treatment qualifies, reach out. We're here to help.
