Stroke can happen to anyone at any time and its devastation can impact every aspect of life, from work to relationships to the ability to function in society. Stroke occurs when blood flow to an area of the brain is blocked. Without oxygen, brain cells begin to die, and bodily control is lost in the areas controlled by that area of the brain.
CNS is known for its expertise in rehabilitation and working with younger stroke patients, treating congenital aneurysms which are often seen in this age group.

Every stroke is unique. Thus, every patient requires a treatment strategy specific to their needs. CNS neurologists collaborate with our clinical teams to help patients improve based on their injury, ability, and desire to succeed. CNS believes in the full continuum of treatment, and our depth of knowledge supports this philosophy. CNS sees appropriate care as both cost effective and the best solution for life-long recovery. Medical oversight, combined with evidence-based rehabilitation, gives patients the foundation for a durable, progressive recovery.
Stroke is the No. 5 cause of death, and a leading cause of disability in the US, and it can happen to anyone, at any time. It occurs when blood flow to an area of the brain is blocked. Without oxygen, brain cells begin to die, and bodily control is lost in the areas controlled by that area of the brain.
A malady long associated with the elderly and smokers, it was assumed that if stroke occurred, permanent brain damage was inevitable. But stroke appears in a vast spectrum of people, and can be caused by substance abuse, stress, cardiac conditions, genetic abnormalities, and medical comorbidities. As thinking broadens about populations affected, beliefs about lifelong damage are also being reconsidered.
