What Is Neurorehabilitation?

Neurorehabilitation helps improve function and quality of life for people with neurological injuries and diseases. It includes many types of therapy and procedures, including those to relieve pain.

At Memorial Rehabilitation Institute, physical medicine and rehabilitation doctors (physiatrists) lead our neurorehabilitation teams. Several of our physiatrists have additional training in pain management. We work closely with neurologists and neurosurgeons at Memorial Neuroscience Institute and other team members including:

• Physical, occupational and speech therapists
• Orthotists who make and fit braces and splints
• Pharmacists
• Psychologists, neuropsychologists and social workers

Throughout care, we assess the effectiveness of treatment, adjusting your care plan as needed. This personalized strategy helps you get the most out of neurorehabilitation.
