I'm about six weeks post major surgery for a condition called Neurogenic Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. It's basically nerve crush due to whip-lash, repetitive stress etc. I'm feeling very lucky that I have Dr. Maribel and Chesterton Physical Therapy helping me with my recovery. Mine is a long road back and their team has been helping me every step of the way. E-stim, laser, ultrasound, heat/ice, and dry-needling have all been used to help my muscles calm down and respond to treatment. The exercises they've implemented for me thus far are creative and perfectly matched to where I am in my recovery. The team is incredible - Alex, Adam, Neal, Jordan, Lucy, Sir John etc. - everyone is friendly, caring and genuinely wants to help you. Dr. Maribel oversees it all and designs customized treatment plans to get you where you need to go. She runs a tight ship and has hired a great staff. I have many sessions more to go and look forward to each one. Highly recommend!

All of the staff is very welcoming, they are like a big family and care for both the staff and patients. I see Dr. Maribel, she really tries to pinpoint what you need help with by asking many questions, which if you’re very anxious like me and don’t know how to talk to people helps tremendously.

Are You Living With a Neurological Condition?

Physical Therapy Can Help You Regain Independence

If you have neurological conditions, you are well aware of how it will impact your life. Your mobility may be limited, your quality of life may suffer, and you may be unable to function as independently as you would like.

Fortunately, physical therapy is an alternative.

Physical therapy for neurological disorders is meant to regain as much function and mobility as possible, allowing you to move around more easily.

We hope that our patients will be relieved to know that they will be treated by the best Dunes Plaza and Sand Creek physical therapists.

Our physical therapists at Chesterton Physical Therapy are highly qualified specialists in the treatment of mobility issues caused by injury or nervous system disorders. Our experts will assess your condition and create the best care plan for you.

For more information on how our Dunes Plaza, Willowcreek Rd, andΒ Sand Creek physical therapy services can benefit your condition and help you learn how to manage your neurological condition,Β schedule an appointment today.

How can physical therapy be combined with Neurotherapy?

Neurotherapy is a non-invasive technique that analyzes brain activity to see how it can be changed to help patients recover function.

It identifies areas of the brain that need enhancement and then uses physical therapy to reinforce those areas.

EEG is used in conjunction with Neurotherapy to assess brain function and construct β€˜brain maps.’

Physical and neurological therapists collaborate to create the right care plan for each patient.

By participating in physical therapy sessions after a neurological injury, your stamina will increase, you will be able to perform targeted activities, and you will regain your independence much sooner.

Common neurological conditions

There are various neurological disorders. These kinds of circumstances have an impact on how an individual is going to travel comfortably.

Their muscle control may be severely compromised, and they may be unable to act independently in certain cases.

The following are a few examples of common neurological conditions:

Stroke

Stroke is a leading cause of disability in adults. Chesterton Physical Therapy can help relieve the effects of a stroke by working to improve balance, walking, and the use of assistive devices.

Common therapies for post-stroke rehabilitation include:

  • Functional electrical stimulation
  • Neurotherapy techniques (Biofeedback)
  • Partial body weight support
  • Motor image
  • Constraint-induced movement therapy

Biofeedback is a form of neurological therapy that assists in improving understanding of muscle function and how it can be enhanced.

This is done by applying electrodes to the skin and viewing muscle activity on the device.

After a stroke, our physical therapists in Dunes Plaza and Sand Creek will help you recover your functional skills so that you can get back to life as normally as possible.

ALS

ALS is a neurodegenerative condition that worsens over time. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) usually starts in the hands, legs, and extremities before progressing to the central nervous system.

People who develop ALS usually have trouble walking at first because they may tip over or lose their balance. Muscle cramps and weakness in the hands and legs are also common.

As ALS progresses across the body, it can affect how a person uses their extremities, speaks, swallows, and even breathes.

Unfortunately, there is no cure forΒ ALSΒ at the moment. Our recovery team’s task, on the other hand, is to assist in maintaining function and freedom for as long as possible.

Chesterton Physical Therapy also focuses on the prevention of secondary complications (such as injuries associated with falling) by providing protection and adaptation information while using assistive devices.

Our physical therapists may prescribe the use of supportive equipment, such as canes, walkers, wheelchairs, braces, and other aids, as the disease progresses.

Parkinson’s Disease

Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological disorder that affects the nerve cells in the brain.

Extreme tremors, slurred speech, and rare, uncontrollable facial expressions are common Parkinson’s disease symptoms.

Physical exercise, luckily, will help to slow the development of Parkinson’s disease and relieve symptoms.

It also increases endurance and strength by treating several problems caused by Parkinson’s disease, such as erratic gait, freezing, and dystonia.

Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis is a neurological disorder that affects the brain and the spinal cord. Typical signs of multiple sclerosis are pressure, fatigue, and exhaustion.

If it progresses, this disease may be crippling. Fortunately, physical therapy will help treat and reduce these effects if you are struggling with this illness.

In addition to being given advice on how to use assistive devices properly, you can work with our Chesterton Physical Therapy therapists on activities to help with balance and movement.

With targeted exercises, our Dunes Plaza and Sand Creek physical therapist will provide you with personalized stretches to relieve muscle spasms and increase strength and range of motion.

Our goal for patients with multiple sclerosis is to be able to move as easily as possible.
