Rare Disease Day: When the Uncommon Becomes Common at Plasticity Brain Centers

At Plasticity Brain Centers, we often say, "The uncommon is common here." This sentiment couldn’t be more fitting as we reflect on some remarkable moments at our Orlando office. During a recent tour, a group of professors was astonished to learn that in just one week, we had seen three patients with conditions so rare that many doctors may never encounter them in their careers.



These cases included genetic conditions affecting the brain and degenerative disorders, each presenting unique challenges for both patients and providers. Rare diseases often require patients and families to step outside the boundaries of traditional medical care, seeking therapies that go beyond the standard approaches to find real solutions.

At Plasticity, we specialize in combining cutting-edge neuroplasticity techniques with personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s needs. This approach enables us to address complex conditions by focusing on activating the brain’s ability to reorganize itself and create new neural connections. By doing so, we aim to unlock potential pathways for improved function and quality of life, even in cases where traditional treatments have fallen short.

One story that stands out is that of a young child with a rare neurological condition whose journey has been nothing short of inspiring. Through consistent therapy and innovative treatments, this child has made remarkable progress, demonstrating the power of neuroplasticity. You can watch their incredible story here:

Reagan was born with Glutaric Academia Type 1, a rare, genetic disorder that makes it difficult for individuals to break down certain proteins. She suffered from a metabolic crisis at 13-months, which led her to have a stroke and several seizures. These brain injuries affected her health and quality of life. Anne-Marie brought her daughter Reagan for recovery and healing at Plasticity Brin Centers, where she received treatment that bettered her coordination, balance and more.
