An acute spinal cord injury (SCI) can dramatically impact movement, independence, and overall quality of life. Even with physical rehabilitation and medication, recovery is often incomplete, especially when it comes to pain, muscle coordination, or emotional well-being.
At Neurotherapeutix in New York City, we offer a different approach.
Our fMRI-guided TMS therapy targets the neural circuits involved in movement control, pain modulation, and mood regulation, supporting more comprehensive recovery for clients living with SCI.

An acute spinal cord injury is a condition that occurs when the spinal cord is suddenly damaged. This is most often due to trauma like a fall, car accident, or sports injury.
The damage interrupts communication between the brain and body, potentially resulting in paralysis, sensory loss, or impaired autonomic function.
Acute SCI is a medical emergency that requires immediate treatment to minimize long-term neurological impairment.
Symptoms of acute SCI vary based on the injury location and severity, but may include:
Acute spinal cord injuries are most often caused by:
Risk increases with age, high-impact activities, or certain health conditions that affect bone density or stability.
Diagnosing an acute SCI typically involves:
Early diagnosis is crucial for stabilizing the injury and determining the appropriate treatment plan.
While traditional rehabilitation focuses on the body, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) targets the brain.
At Neurotherapeutix, we use fMRI-guided TMS therapy to precisely identify and stimulate the brain regions responsible for motor control, pain perception, and emotional regulation.
This technology-driven approach supports neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to rewire itself after injury, offering new hope for functional improvement, especially when paired with physical therapy.
TMS therapy may help clients with spinal cord injuries by:
Though not a cure, TMS therapy is a promising complement to existing treatments, particularly for clients with persistent neurological symptoms of an acute spinal cord injury.
fMRI-guided TMS therapy is:
Your treatment begins with an in-depth consultation and brain scan. Our specialists use fMRI imaging to map out the neural circuits that require stimulation.
TMS sessions are typically:
Our expert team continuously tracks your response and makes refinements as needed.
TMS may support recovery in clients with acute SCI by helping to relieve:
While individual outcomes vary, many clients report gradual improvement in symptoms and enhanced day-to-day functioning.
fMRI-guided TMS therapy may be a good fit if you:
