Learn More about Neurological Disorders

When these type of medical concerns are present, or occur as in the case of stroke, it is important for appropriate treatment to be sought in order to minimize the negative effects that can take place. If, however, proper care is not received, the resulting outcomes can significantly damage a person’s quality of life.

Helping a Loved One

If you have a friend or family member who is diagnosed with multiple sclerosis or Parkinson’s disease, then you are likely familiar with how these concerns can impact someone’s life. You may also be unsure of how you can best help your loved one or are unaware what the best treatment options are for him or her. Additionally, if someone you care about has recently suffered a stroke or been recently diagnosed with another type of neurological disorder, you may not know what can be done to beneficially help this important person in your life.

To help a loved one or family member seek treatment at a center for a neurological disorder, please consider the following:

  • Try to learn all that you can about your loved one’s condition. Familiarize yourself with the effects and any warning signs that can emerge that could suggest your loved one’s condition has worsened.
  • Encourage your loved one to speak with his or her healthcare provider and offer to accompany him or her to that appointment. In doing so, both you and the person you care about can learn more about his or her condition and become more aware of the treatment options that have worked for others.
  • Assist your loved one in searching for effective treatment. By making this search a team effort, your loved one will feel supported by you.

If your loved one has agreed to seek treatment to address the symptoms and effects of his or her neurological disorder, it is also important to do the following:

  • Encourage him or her to explore all treatment options available.
  • Advise him or her to follow through on all treatment recommendations.
  • Remain a beacon of hope and positivity for your loved one.
  • Practice good self-care so that you are rejuvenated and able to be of the best help to your loved one.

By following through on the above suggestions, there is no reason why your loved one will not be successful in taking on the endeavor of seeking treatment to improve upon the disposition of his or her neurological disorder.

Why Consider Our Services

MS and Parkinson’s disease are progressive in nature and require ongoing treatment maintenance in order to slow the progression of these concerns. Should an individual not seek care for these concerns, it is likely that a person will slowly be unable to live without the help of others. Daily functioning, including the completion of day-to-day activities, could prove difficult when these types of disorders advance to worsening states. Additional medical conditions may also become apparent and mental illnesses can eventually impact these individuals’ lives as well.

If a person experiences a stroke, another type of neurological disorder, the resulting effects could be quite adverse and warrant rehabilitative services in order to restore the individual’s functioning. Some individuals lose the ability to walk, talk, and otherwise live independent lives, which makes seeking treatment so crucial if one experience a stroke. With care, additional medical concerns and other negative effects can be minimized or avoided all together.

Types of Treatment Offered

During the streamlined admissions process, the need for rehabilitative services will be assessed. If this type of care is required, the staff at Murfreesboro Rehabilitation Hospital will then determine which of the below listed treatment methods should be included into the patient’s treatment plan so that the most favorable treatment outcomes result:

Physical therapy: So as to help patients heal when they are struggling with medical conditions that limit their movement, flexibility, and overall quality of life, Murfreesboro Rehabilitation Hospital is pleased to offer physical therapy within its physical medicine and rehabilitation unit. For example, if a man or woman is grappling with a neurological disorder or another type of medical concern, he or she will be able to meet with a physical therapist and learn new ways of becoming more independent and active in his or her daily life. This unique facet of care also offers patients access to orthotics, prosthetics, and wheelchair consultations with staff.

Occupational therapy: Because medical conditions like neurological disorders can hinder an individual’s ability to carry out daily activities, occupational therapy is available at Murfreesboro Rehabilitation Hospital so that patients can recuperate and resume healthy physical functioning in a more independent manner. Within Murfreesboro Rehabilitation Hospital’s occupational therapy services, men and women can also benefit from ultrasounds, electronic stimulation, and kinesio taping when necessary.

Speech therapy: When a medical condition, like a neurological disorder, impacts a person’s ability to communicate effectively, speech therapy may be incorporated into his or her treatment plan. Murfreesboro Rehabilitation Hospital’s staff of expertly trained speech therapists is also able to administer vital stimulation and fiberoptic endoscopic evaluations in order to determine if a patient’s ability to swallow is impacting his or her communication skills and overall health.   

Respiratory therapy: Numerous medical concerns can emerge when a person is unable to breathe properly. For this reason, Murfreesboro Rehabilitation Hospital’s physical medicine and rehabilitation unit is equipped to treat those who require respiratory therapy, including trach management and decannulation, Trilogy, oxygen (O2) weaning, and CPAP and BiPAP management services. When a neurological disorder is identified during the admissions process, the need for respiratory therapy will be determined and can be implemented into a patient’s care when it is required.

Medication management: When an individual is admitted to Murfreesboro Rehabilitation Hospital’s physical medicine and rehabilitation unit to receive care for a neurological disorder, he or she will be seen by a physical rehabilitation doctor three to five days per week. When necessary, a specialty physician can meet with the patient to care for psychiatry, nephrology, cardiology, urology, podiatry, and/or neuropsychology needs as well. Additionally, Murfreesboro Rehabilitation Hospital’s dedicated nursing staff is available to assist individuals 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. When meeting with nurses, patients can learn about their medication regimens, become educated on how to best handle their care when not at Murfreesboro Rehabilitation Hospital, and become more familiar with diabetic care, DVT prophylaxis, and bowel/bladder training when needed.

Individual therapy: Conducted on an individual basis with either a physical therapist, occupational therapist, or speech therapist, individual therapy sessions occur at least three hours per day, five days per week. These sessions can serve as a time in which the patient’s safety is assessed or when the needs of the individual require help from a professional from another discipline. Individuals working to recover from neurological disorders are also able to meet with an assigned social worker who can assess the need for and establish support, transition planning, and follow-up care that meets the patient’s needs.

Family education and training: In order to help those closest to Murfreesboro Rehabilitation Hospital patients, family support services are available to provide family members and other loved ones with the information, resources, and support they need to be of best assistance to the individual they care about once he or she is discharged from Murfreesboro Rehabilitation Hospital. Scheduled on an as needed basis, these meetings, which occur with Murfreesboro Rehabilitation Hospital staff, are invaluable to family members and loved ones as they can help them learn how to properly aid someone while healing from a neurological disorder. Lastly, when it is necessary, family members and loved ones can meet with a social worker for family meetings as well.

Experiential therapy: While working to recuperate from a neurological disorder, a patient may benefit from certain experiential therapies if they will be of benefit during the healing and recovery process. The following types of experiential therapies are offered at Murfreesboro Rehabilitation Hospital treatment center & hospital and can be included in a patient’s treatment plan when appropriate:

  • Outside physical activity
  • Aroma therapy
  • Music therapy
  • Role playing
