Post-Stroke Neuro-Optimization
Engineering Optimum Conditions for Healing
Standard medicine often suggests recovery stops after six months to a year. We believe biology is always listening. It just needs the right signal.
A MESSAGE TO THE PATIENT AND FAMILY: WHY WE ARE DIFFERENT
HyperCharge is Hope.
If you are reading this, you or someone you love has suffered a stroke. You have likely been through the hospital, the inpatient rehab, and countless therapy appointments. You have worked hard.
But you may have been told that you have reached a "Plateau"—that the recovery you have made is likely the limit of your potential. You may have been told to accept a "New Normal."
Here is the hard truth: Most clinics treat stroke in isolation. They do physical therapy or they do supplements or they do brain games.
HyperCharge Health is different. We are one of the few clinics in the US that integrates the "Full Stack" of neuro-restoration under one roof.
We do not know of another facility that combines Whole-Body Electrical Suits (Neuro20) with Transcranial Laser Therapy, Advanced Peptide Signaling, and Oxygen Drives simultaneously. We stack these therapies because biology is synergistic. You cannot fix the software (movement) if the hardware (brain tissue) is starving for fuel.
The plateau is not the end. It is simply a signal that your brain needs a different kind of fuel and a different kind of input to continue the healing process.
THE SCIENCE OF HOPE: DEFINING THE TERMS
To understand our approach, we must differentiate between the types of injury and the targets of therapy.
The "Dead Zone" vs. The "Sleeping Zone" (The Ischemic Penumbra)
When a stroke happens, a core area of brain tissue dies due to lack of blood flow. We cannot bring that dead tissue back.
However, surrounding that injury is a large area called the Ischemic Penumbra.
The Definition: These are neurons that survived the stroke but are "stunned." They are metabolically dormant because they lack the massive amount of energy (ATP) required to function.
The Problem: Standard rehab often fails to wake these cells up because it demands work (exercise) that these low-energy cells cannot perform.
Our Solution: We focus on Energy First. We flood these sleeping cells with photonic energy (Laser) and oxygen so they can turn back on and rejoin the network.
The "Software Glitch" (Learned Non-Use)
When an arm or leg is weak after a stroke, movement becomes difficult and frustrating. Over time, the brain stops attempting to recruit those muscles to conserve energy.
The Definition: This is clinically known as Learned Non-Use. The neural pathway has not been destroyed, but it has been "unplugged" due to lack of traffic. The hardware (muscle) works, but the software (brain) has deleted the driver.
Our Solution: We utilize technology designed to force the signal through, reminding the brain that the connection still exists.
THE PAIN PROTOCOL: NON-OPIOID MANAGEMENT
Neuropathic pain is debilitating. We attack it with Physics, not just Pharmacology.
1. Class IV Laser Therapy (The Healer) For localized neuropathic pain, we use high-power Near-Infrared light.
Mechanism: It targets the mitochondria of the damaged nerves, reducing the "mitochondrial oxidative stress" that drives pain signals.
Result: Reduced inflammation and improved micro-circulation around the nerve roots, often turning the "burning" sensation down to a dull hum.
2. Green Light Therapy (The Filter) We utilize specific wavelengths of green light that travel from the retina to the Thalamus. Research suggests this frequency helps downregulate the brain's pain processing system, turning the "alarm" volume down without drugs.
3. Transcranial PBM (The Brain Laser) We treat the brain, not just the spine. By delivering Near-Infrared energy to the cortex, we modulate the pain matrix, helping to break the cycle of chronic central pain.
WHICH STAGE ARE YOU IN?
We tailor our approach based on where you are in your journey.
PHASE A: THE EARLY RECOVERY (1-12 Months)
The Goal: Maximize the Window.
The Focus: In this phase, the brain is primed for input. We use Oxygen (EWOT) and Laser Therapy to hyper-oxygenate the tissue, aiming to reduce inflammation and support the formation of healthy neural connections. We work alongside your PT to help accelerate gains.
PHASE B: THE CHRONIC PHASE (1 Year+)
The Goal: Challenge the Plateau.
The Focus: This is where standard care often stops. We use higher-intensity signaling (Neuro20) to provide a novel stimulus to the nervous system. Our objective is to trigger Neuroplasticity (the brain's ability to rewire) even in the chronic phase of injury.

THE BIOCHEMICAL PROTOCOL: SIGNALING REPAIR
We don't just treat with machines; we treat with molecules. This is the missing link in standard rehab.
-
Note: Prescribed based on strict medical evaluation by our team.
We utilize targeted peptides to send specific "Repair" signals to the nervous system.
Cerebrolysin / Cortexin: Neuropeptides utilized globally to support neuroprotection and neuroplasticity. They mimic the brain's own growth factors to support neuron survival.
Semax / Selank: Regulators that modulate BDNF expression and help reduce neuro-inflammation.
BPC-157: A systemic repair peptide often used to support the healing of connective tissue and reduce gut-brain axis inflammation.
-
You cannot build a house without bricks. We ensure your brain has the raw materials for repair.
Creatine Monohydrate: The primary fuel source for the brain. It recycles ATP, giving neurons the immediate energy needed for intense rehab sessions.
Vitamin D (Optimized Levels): A neuro-steroid essential for nerve health. We target optimal therapeutic levels, not just "normal" ranges.
NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine): A precursor to Glutathione, the brain's master antioxidant. It helps scrub the oxidative "rust" produced by the stroke injury.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids (High Dose): The structural building blocks of cell membranes and myelin sheaths.
THE PHYSICS PROTOCOL: REWIRING THE HARDWARE
TARGETING THE BRAIN: TRANSCRANIAL PBM (The Brain Laser)
Restoring the Physical Infrastructure.
Recovery takes massive energy. We use Transcranial Photobiomodulation (tPBM) to deliver Near-Infrared light directly through the skull to the brain tissue. It targets three critical mechanisms:
Angiogenesis (New Supply Lines): Stroke compromises blood flow. tPBM has been shown to support the growth of new microscopic capillaries, helping to re-oxygenate the "Sleeping Zone."
Glymphatic Drainage (Taking Out the Trash): A damaged brain is an inflamed brain. Light energy helps open the Glymphatic System—the brain's waste clearance pathway—to flush out inflammatory toxins that cause brain fog and fatigue.
Synaptogenesis (The Rewire): The laser triggers the release of BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor). This protein acts like fertilizer for new neural connections, helping the brain build new bridges around the damaged area.
TARGETING THE BODY: THE NEURO20 SYSTEM
Facilitating Movement through "Exoskeleton" Technology.
This is not a TENS unit. The Neuro20 PRO Suit is an FDA-cleared wearable device that covers 42 muscle groups to act as a "second nervous system."
Hebbian Learning: The suit fires your muscles in the exact sequence of walking (Glute - Quad - Calf) while you visualize the movement. The brain sees the leg move and feels the muscle contract simultaneously. This closes the loop. "Neurons that fire together, wire together."
Spasticity Management: Many stroke patients suffer from spasticity (tightness). By stimulating the opposing muscles (e.g., Triceps), we trigger Reciprocal Inhibition, encouraging the spastic muscles (e.g., Biceps) to relax.
MEDICAL REALITY CHECK: SAFETY & EXPECTATIONS
We are a clinic of integrity. It is important to know what we can and cannot do.
What We Aim To Do:
Optimize the function of the "Sleeping Zone" (Penumbra).
Improve cellular energy to support mood, sleep, and motivation.
Assist in improving range of motion, gait mechanics, and balance.
Act as a powerful partner to your Neurologist and Physical Therapist.
What We Cannot Do:
We cannot resurrect dead brain tissue (the Core Infarct).
We cannot guarantee a full return to pre-stroke function. Every brain injury is unique, and results vary.
We cannot treat patients with Active Seizures, Pacemakers/Defibrillators, or Active Blood Clots (DVT) due to safety risks with electrical stimulation.
Our Promise:
We will never over-promise. We will measure your brain function objectively using Brain Mapping (qEEG) so we can track real data, not just guesses.
The Plateau is Not the End.
Biology is always listening. It is waiting for the right energy, the right signal, and the right fuel to continue the repair process.
It is time to move beyond "waiting and seeing" and start Engineering.
