Neurology is the medical specialty which focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders of the brain and nervous system. Accidents often cause damage to the brain and nervous system. A neurologist consultation will help evaluate the extent of damage that may have occurred.
Manual therapy involves the manipulation of superficial and deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue using multiple techniques. This manipulation of muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, skin, joints, and connective tissues to improve function, aid in the healing process, and promote relaxation.
Manual therapy involves working and acting on the body with pressure, tension, motion, or vibration, done either manually or with mechanical aids.
Our psychotherapists aid in the treatment of mental and emotional disorders resulting from an accident through psychological techniques designed to encourage communication of their conflicts in order to gain insight into their underlying problems.
The goal is the relief of symptoms such as stress and anxiety, as well as changes in behavior that allow them to return to their normal activities of daily living.
