Moving the mountain.
Millie is the first patient with her diagnosis to make it to NeuroSolutions for treatment and a medical case study has been started to share her inspiring story. We hope that with the new research being done on Millie’s life, we can change the standard of care and life expectancy for children with similar conditions. Thank you for considering a donation towards inspiring doctors and parents around the world to continue fighting for life and to never give up on hope!
What is NeuroSolutions?
NeuroSolutions consists of functional neurologists, specialists in a relatively new branch of medicine. Since functional neurology is not yet covered by insurance, the cost of treatment is entirely out-of-pocket, making it quite expensive. We’re seeking support, as Millie’s treatments cost upwards of $50,000 per visit.
What do they do?
NeuroSolutions provides a wealth of expertise, including neurosurgeons, anesthesiologists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, chiropractors, and developmental specialists, all of whom are highly trained and skilled in functional neurology. This team communicates daily, giving full attention to each patient.
In a typical hospital setting, these departments rarely collaborate, resulting in compartmentalized and inefficient treatments and diagnoses. This often leads to unnecessary stress, wasted time, and added expenses for the patient, with minimal improvement.
With a 'Never Say Never' mentality, these professionals work together to determine the fastest and most effective approach to creating new neural pathways and strengthening muscles in the proper sequence to promote optimal development.
Millie also undergoes VSEL therapy, a regenerative treatment that promotes brain development by stimulating the body’s platelet activity to target the brain. For more details about VSEL, feel free to reach out!
Why are they using so many red lights?
These red lights are typically therapeutic lasers that help provide energy to the body’s cells and muscles. They do this by stimulating the mitochondria — the “powerhouses” of cells — to produce more ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the energy that fuels cellular repair and regeneration.
The visible red light you see is often simply a guiding beam. The actual therapeutic laser operates at wavelengths that are invisible to the human eye, often in the near-infrared spectrum, allowing it to penetrate deeper into tissues where healing begins.
In addition to laser treatments, red light therapy (non-laser) is also used to support healing. This type of therapy delivers gentle, low-level light that helps reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and stimulate collagen production — all of which promote tissue repair and overall cellular health.
You may also notice green or ultraviolet (UV) lights being used in certain sessions. Green light is often utilized for its calming effects on the nervous system and its ability to reduce pain or muscle tension, while ultraviolet light can be used in controlled settings to help support the body’s natural immune response and promote surface-level healing.'
It’s important to note that the “red lights” play a crucial role in supporting the functional side of Millie’s therapies. By energizing her muscles and enhancing cellular activity, they help her body better handle longer and more demanding therapy sessions.
