Neurological Disorders Treatment in Troy, IL

Patients who are diagnosed with serious neurological disorders or diseases often turn to neurological physical therapy programs to help them keep their independence and be active again. Since neurological disorders affect the nervous system, treatments involve a variety of exercise and conditioning techniques that are based around movement and serve to relieve pain and restore function. At Tailor-Made Physical Therapy, our neurological specialists can help alleviate the conditions that are limiting your lifestyle and will provide a custom-fit program that not only manages your symptoms, but restores your independence.

We provide neurological physical therapy for these common conditions:

Parkinson’s Disease – This progressive disease is a motor system disorder that attacks the brain’s nerve cells which will cause speech issues, stiffness, tremors and irregular facial expressions. Physical therapy will focus on treating symptoms while improving flexibility and restoring postural strength.

Multiple Sclerosis – This chronic disease affects the central nervous system and is considered an autoimmune disorder. Symptoms include fatigue, weakness and pain which can be countered with conditioning, stretching and strengthening physical therapy programs that seek to improve balance and movement issues.

ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) – Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis is a progressive neurological disease that starts in extremities and makes its way to the central nervous system. Physical therapy seeks to counter the motion and weakness by maximizing the patient’s existing capabilities and developing a program that prevents further loss of movement.

Stroke – This disease affects the arteries that lead to the brain and is the leading cause of disability when blood flow is cut off. Physical therapy provides movement rehabilitation from a stroke by focusing on walking, supporting, balance and assisted device training.
