Benefits of Neurological Rehabilitation
Here’s how it works, when you come into FYZICAL Spanish Fork our skilled physical therapists who specialize in neurological rehabilitation will create an individualized treatment plan based on your clinical diagnosis and needs. Your neurological rehabilitation program may include help with daily activities such as dressing, bathing, toileting, and eating. Your program may also include help with stress management. We are also specialists in gait retraining - which means helping you learn how to walk or relearn how to walk effectively. We also offer state of the art balance therapy since neurological issues so often are accompanied by balance problems. Additionally we help you with stretching and strengthening exercises to increase your range of motion and strength and stability.
Neurological Symptoms
How do you know if this is something that could be helpful for you? Well, there are hundreds of neurological symptoms with varying causes. Some common neurological symptoms include headache, numbness, tingling, muscle weakness, paralysis, involuntary muscle contractions, muscle rigidity, muscle tremors, dizziness, loss of balance, fainting, gait abnormalities, confusion, memory problems, and speech difficulty. If you are experiencing these come in for an evaluation and see how we can help.
Nervous System Basics
Now these systems are caused by how your nervous system is performing. Your nervous system has two parts: the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. The central nervous system (CNS) includes your brain and spinal cord and functions as the central processing station. The peripheral nervous system (PNS) includes the nerves that branch out from your brain and spinal cord. These nerves transmit information to your brain. The PNS is subdivided into the somatic and autonomic nervous systems. The somatic nervous system is involved in conscious activities and includes the nerves that go to the muscles and skin. The autonomic nervous system is involved in unconscious activities and includes the nerves that connect the visceral organs, including your heart, lungs, liver, pancreas, and intestines, to your CNS.,
When connections in any part of the nervous system are disrupted by a disease, disorder, or injury, neurological symptoms develop.
