What Are Neurological Disorders?
Neurological disorders are conditions that affect the brain, spinal cord, or nerves, leading to a range of symptoms that can impact movement, coordination, and overall function. These disorders can result from injury, genetics, infections, or diseases like stroke, Parkinson's disease, and multiple sclerosis. At UMG Physical Therapy in Columbia, MD, we specialize in physical therapy for neurological disorders, helping patients manage these conditions and improve their quality of life through targeted treatments.
How Are Neurological Disorders Treated?
Treatment for neurological disorders often involves a combination of medication, lifestyle changes, and rehabilitation therapies. One of the most effective treatments is physical therapy, which focuses on restoring movement and function. Neurological physical therapy techniques, including balance exercises, strength training, and coordination tasks, are specifically designed to address the symptoms of each disorder. For patients with functional neurological disorders, physical therapy helps retrain the body to respond correctly to signals from the nervous system, promoting better movement and coordination.
What Are the Symptoms of Neurological Disorders?
The symptoms of neurological disorders vary, depending on the specific condition but can often include:
- Muscle weakness
- Difficulty with coordination
- Balance issues
- Numbness or tingling in the limbs
- Tremors
- Difficulty speaking
- Memory problems
Physical therapy for neurological disorders addresses these symptoms, helping patients regain strength, improve mobility, and manage any pain or discomfort they may experience.
UMG Physical Therapy Reviews
Excellent! - My mom arms has been in pain for some time. Kevin was able to diagnose the problem and help with a treatment plan. Kevin has great bedside manners and is great at what he does! Would really recommend!!
Forever Grateful for Dr. Ung - My mother suffered a brain hemorrhage and all feelings and control of her left side were gone. She underwent a successful craniotomy and we were told the road to recovery would be tough. It was disheartening as my mother needed full help to even shift in her bed, to be held while sitting so she wouldn’t topple over, and she needed two people to lift her to use the bedside commode. Literally, she couldn’t lift a finger (her left side) and due to neurological issues caused by the hemorrhage, this affected her right side as well.In less than two months of working with my mother, Dr. Ung and other PT & OT helped my mother to become semi-independent. She was able to use a walker, walking short distances safely, and to take care of her basic needs, like using the toilet with little assistance. Dr. Ung was patient and compassionate and explained everything as he went along. It was truly amazing to see him work with my mother and the transformation was like magic! Thank you so much, Dr. Ung!
Highly recommend - I’m so grateful for Dr. Ung for helping my mom with her chronic knee pain. Despite the language barrier, he found a way to communicate clearly and make sure my mom understood what to do. He was patient with her and really made her feel comfortable. My mom’s pain has improved and she’s moving around much better now!
Awesome and will come back! - Dr. Ung treated me for my lower back pain and sciatica multiple times! I left with with way less pain and was able to walk and play sports again. Thank You
