Have you heard of Vivistim vagus nerve stimulation? 🧠
Our lead OT, Joni, attended and presented at the state of Wisconsin’s first Vivistim Summit hosted by MicroTransponder Inc. Joni is a Certified Stroke Rehabilitation Specialist with experience treating chronic stroke patients.
Joni has seen the first hand functional gains that can be facilitated and enhanced through ground breaking technology for those who continue to experience impairments following an ischemic stroke.
Vivistim stimulates the vagus nerve to release neuromodulating hormones which boost neuroplasticity and recovery time during the chronic phase of stroke rehabilitation. Paired skilled and intensive therapy brings about long lasting changes leading to improved functional outcomes. Check out some of the goals patients have accomplished at the NRC!
