Neurological Rehabilitation
Neurological rehabilitation is an important part of our practice at DCND. Our Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (PM&R) providers help our patients live more active and productive lives after a neurological injury/disability. They will work with your neurologist on a care plan that helps improve your quality of life. They focus on a variety of areas such as:
- Peripheral Neuropathy
- Electromyogram (EMG)
- Nerve Blocks
- Stroke Rehabilitation
- ALS
- Muscular Dystrophy
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Brain Injury
Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation
Common Conditions
Our PM&R doctors treat a variety of conditions, but most commonly treat symptoms from global neurologic dysfunction. These include MS, Stroke, Parkinson’s and other diseases of the brain and central nervous system.
Restoring Functional Ability
One of the biggest goals of physical medicine and rehabilitation is to improve the patient’s quality of life by putting into place a proper rehabilitation plan. If followed properly, these protocols can dramatically change the way the patient feels both emotionally and physically. Many times these plans refer patients to other medical specialists and medical device manufactures.
Non-surgical treatments
Our providers use non-surgical treatments and stategies to improve physical function.
EMG/Nerve Conduction Studies
An Electromyography (EMG) and Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS) are diagnostic tests that look at your nerves and muscles and analyze how well they’re working. This test is conducted by one of our highly trained providers and can evaluate for possible injury to the nerves and muscles by stimulating the nerve and recording how each nerve conducts a signal. The results help your physician determine if your nerves and muscles are healthy or if there is a nerve or muscle injury. These tests can help diagnose issues such as Carpal Tunnel, pinched nerves in the back and neck, neuropathy, ALS, and certain muscle diseases. To prepare for an EMG, we ask that you do not apply any lotions, oils or perfumes. For your comfort we also ask that you wear clothing that is easy to remove. Any further test preparation will be discussed when scheduling your appointment.
Rehabilitation Plan
- Your PM&R doctor will work with you to develop a rehabilitation plan that could include everything from therapeutic exercise, self-care training to adaptive equipment and assistance devices.
