Neuro Rehabilitation Services (Outpatient)

Neurological injuries affect thousands of people each year. Whether the injury is from a recent stroke, trauma to the spinal cord or a progressive disorder such as multiple sclerosis, neurological impairments can significantly decrease independence in daily activities and limit mobility. However, with the appropriate rehabilitation program, changes can be made to improve physical, functional, cognitive and swallowing ability. A multi-disciplinary team of physical therapists, occupational therapists and speech-language pathologists provide rehabilitation through Outpatient Neuro Rehabilitation Services to improve independence and safely assist individuals in leading an active life.
