Interdisciplinary approach to neuro rehab
The process of neuro-rehabilitation relies in part on the person, who has experienced the neurological injury, making plans and setting personal goals. We say that neuro-rehabilitation is not done only for the person who has suffered an injury, but by him or her.
However, the guidance, support, and assistance of a broad range of professionals are crucial for this process. That is why neurological rehabilitation at NeuLife is guided by an interdisciplinary team of clinical professionals and focuses on the individual needs and abilities of each patient.

Common conditions targeted at NeuLife neuro rehab

- Blood vessel disorders in the brain or spinal cord, such as aneurysms or arteriovenous malformations (AVM)
- Brain injury, including anoxic injury or traumatic brain injury
- Brain tumors, both benign and cancerous
- Degenerative disorders (disorders that get worse over time) such as Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Huntington’s chorea, and Alzheimer’s disease

Am I a good candidate for Neuro-Rehabilitation?
Neuro-rehabilitation is best suited for people who are experiencing lingering problems after a neurological injury or disease. People experiencing difficulty with speech, movement, vision, balance, and many other complications of neurological problems can almost always benefit.
Neuro-rehabilitation requires the patient to be mature enough to make a commitment to the treatment plan. A person in neuro-rehabilitation will get help and guidance from a team of experts, but they need to have the will and courage to progress through what can be a very demanding treatment schedule.
It is a common misconception that neuro-rehabilitation needs to take place immediately after a neurological injury to be effective. In fact, it is never too late to start a neuro-rehabilitation program. Many people can get significant benefits and regain noticeable function months or even years after their initial injury.
