Treatment of a Neurological Disorder

The brain, the spinal cord, and nerves make up the nervous system in your body. Together they control the basic functions of your body and make it possible to complete daily tasks. When anything goes wrong with the nervous system, it can cause trouble with moving, walking, speaking, and even breathing. There are many types of neurological conditions or diseases. Below are a few of the major ones.

Injuries to the spinal cord or brain
Degenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s
Disease of the blood vessels such as a stroke
Diseases such as fibromyalgia and Multiple sclerosis

The symptoms and treatments of a neurological disorder will vary based on the nerves affected. Physical therapy is often an important part of recovery and treatment. Through a personalized treatment plan, a physical therapist will work to address the specific symptoms the patient is experiencing, helping them get out of pain and improve their quality of life.

A therapy program will often include:

Aerobic exercises
Strength training
Work on coordination and balance
And stretches to improve flexibility

There are many treatments that a physical therapist can incorporate into your program to help with your specific needs. At Reddy Care Physical and Occupational therapy our therapists specialize in the management of neuropathy. Give us a call today to find out how physical therapy can help you!
