Physical therapy is very important for patients who have neurological injuries or illnesses.Without physical therapy patients may be unable to perform certain activities, may lose their independence, or may lose many functions. Decreased activity can cause many other health problems such as heart problems, diabetes and lung problems.
Neuro Rehab gives care for patients with neurological injuries or illnesses. The Rehab team works with primary care and other physicians to manage neurological conditions. As a result, patients experience fine coordinated care for any kind of neurological disorder.

Neurological disorders can cause problems with:
  • Movement

  • Breathing
  • Swallowing

These disorders can also affect mood, senses, and memory.

Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is a disease affected the nervous system. It is thought to be caused by an autoimmune reaction. This means it cause body's immune system to attack its own tissues. This disease starts when the immune system attacks and damages something called myelin . That’s a layer of insulation that surrounds nerves. It also helps nerves transmit their messages. Usually, weakness begins in both legs and moves up the body. GBS damages the peripheral nervous system . That’s the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord. They help the central nervous system communicate with the rest of your body, including the skin, heart, and muscles. GBS often starts a few days or weeks after an infection like the cold or flu. People with this syndrome are hospitalized immediately because symptoms can worsen rapidly. Immune globulin given intravenously or plasma exchange speeds recovery. Signs and symptoms Guillain-Barre syndrome often begins with tingling a...

What is Nontraumatic Spinal Cord Injury?

Any damage to the spinal cord that has not been caused by a major trauma may led to Nontraumatic Spinal Cord Injury . It occurs when spinal cord has been damaged in other ways such as infection, loss of blood supply, compression by a cancer or through slow degeneration of the spinal bones (vertebrae) such as in osteoarthritis. The spinal cord acts as a connector between the brain and the body; the brain sends signals out through nerves that run down the spinal cord, and from there other nerves go out into the body. These control things like movement of muscles, but also other functions such as sweating, urination and defecation. The body also sends signals up through the spinal cord to the brain via other nerves giving information about touch, temperature, position and pain. The brain can no longer send or receive information to or from the parts of the body if spinal cord gets injured. In a nontraumatic spinal injury, something has happened that has stopped the connection b...

Having a stroke breaks vital connections between your brain and your muscles, which is why it is the leading cause of long-term disability and almost always results in some loss of mobility and movement. However, this loss isn’t necessarily permanent. In fact, rehabilitation is especially crucial during the early stages of recovery, when patients have little to no control over their affected muscles. No matter where you are in your journey toward recovery, your long-term progress will depend on a consistent physical therapy regimen. What is a Stroke? A Stroke is defined as an acute neurological deficit lasting more than 24hrs and is caused by a cerebrovascular aetiology.  The translation?  Neurological symptoms that last for more than 24hrs that can be attributed to changes in the blood supply to the brain. Just like your muscles, brain tissue relies on a constant blood supply to deliver enough oxygen.  In fact, did you know that the brain uses more than 20% o...
