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
On Tuesday, I woke up with a crick in my neck after sleeping wrong on it and through the day it got progressively worse - I had to keep my neck tilted to the right (ear to shoulder) because it was 10/10 pain tilting it to the left or holding it straight. Was thinking Wednesday it was going to get better but it actually got even worse. Just sitting in a car trying to stabilize my neck with turns and bumps in the road was causing sharp jabs of pain in my neck.Went to see Jeffery and Kevin on Thursday and they did a quick diagnosis and began massaging my neck, shoulders and back which provided immediate relief to the pain. Jeffery has miracle hands. They had me do some compound stretches involving multiple muscle groups and strengthening exercises to give me ways to strengthen my back, shoulders, and neck for preventive exercises. For each exercise and stretch, they explained what was being accomplished and why. That really helped me understand how I got into the neck pain and how to prevent it in the future.Lastly, the billing process/dealing with insurance was seamless with them and went without a hitch - that has always been a sore spot for me in dealing with medical stuff - not so with UMG!Jeffery and Kevin provided professional and personalized care that you won't get at the chain physical therapy spots trying to get you in-and-out. I highly recommend seeing them for any acute pain or longstanding issues! I've had back and shoulder issues in the past and have also started to see them to get those addressed so I don't tweak my back in the future!
UMG rocks! They really knows their stuff! The facility is clean and well equipped. Friendly staff. And the program they designed made a significant difference in my pain and discomfort. Easy parking right outside the building. Give them a try.
