Neurological Rehabilitation
For patients recovering from an injury to the brain, spinal cord or nerves, our specialized therapy team is trained to treat a wide range of diagnoses to help you return to your normal daily activities.
Why Choose Us for Neurological Rehabilitation
Neurological Rehabilitation is designed for patients who have experienced an injury to the brain, spinal cord or nerves. People with neurological injuries or diseases sometimes have difficulty moving freely, speaking, swallowing, breathing, or learning. Rehabilitation specializing in these types of injuries or diseases focuses on improving functional participation in their daily life.
Although there are more than 600 neurological diseases, common diagnoses include:
- Parkinson's
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Cerebral Palsy
- Muscular Dystrophy
- Neuromuscular Disorders
- Guillain-Barre Syndrome
- Myopathy
Most important, the quicker you enter rehabilitation therapy, the better chance you have of recovery. In fact, it has been shown that the sooner a person starts inpatient rehabilitation and the more time they spend on therapy each day after an illness or injury, the better their recovery is likely to be.
