Hope Beyond the Diagnosis: A Real Story of Recovery
Most TBI patients come to us when nothing else has worked. Dr. Devon Gaston treated a young woman who was told that she would be in pain and bedridden for at least a year. She was walking outside again in two months!
“They were kind, patient, and incredibly helpful… Devon knows what she is talking about and can look at the whole picture… I really recommend coming here if you have pain that needs to be managed, because they helped me so much more than the pain medications thrown at me by neurologists.”
Destiny had tried medications and bounced between specialists, with no real answers and no relief. She was told to be patient and rest, so she spent six months confined to bed, unable to tolerate light or sound. Her neurologist told her to expect at least a year of pain without a treatment plan. Just medication... and waiting.
When she came to Passport 2 Health, she was skeptical. Functional neurology isn’t always what people expect, as we don't focus on isolated symptoms. Functional neurologists examine the entire nervous system.
How we helped speed her recovery
Functional, not fragmented
We go beyond symptom suppression. Our team assesses how the brain, vestibular system, gut, and immune responses. We examine how they interact and target those systems with precision.
Objective testing
Using tests like VOMS (Vestibular Ocular Motor Screening), Pupillometric, Sensorimotor, Digital Posturography, and, qEEG for brain mapping, we identify real functional impairments that go beyond conventional imaging.
Restoring balance through neuroplasticity
Even after the commonly known “6-month recovery window,” the brain remains capable of adaptation and healing through accurate diagnosis and personalized therapy.
Why so many patients are left behind:
They’re told their MRI is normal, so nothing’s wrong.
They’re prescribed pain medication, but no plan.
They’re advised to rest and wait, rather than engage in active rehab.
Insurance doesn’t cover the comprehensive care they need.
What needs to change:
Greater awareness of functional neurological recovery
Earlier intervention after mild brain injuries
Increased access to integrated therapy and testing that address inflammation, vestibular dysfunction, and neurological timing.
At Passport 2 Health, we’re working to redefine what's possible after head trauma because no two brains and no two recoveries should look the same.
If you or someone you know is still struggling months after a concussion or neurological event, we're here to help!
