Every patient with a spinal cord injury receives a thorough initial assessment by our experienced team of neurodevelopmental and rehab physiotherapists. We evaluate the extent of the injury, associated complications, and the patient’s overall physical and psychological condition. Based on this comprehensive assessment, we develop a customized rehabilitation plan tailored to meet the specific needs and goals of the patient.
Our specialized physiotherapy services focus on restoring mobility, strength, and functionality to the maximum possible extent. We use a combination of manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, and advanced techniques such as neurostimulation and functional electrical stimulation (FES) to help patients regain motor function and independence. Our physiotherapists work closely with each patient to monitor progress and adjust treatment plans as needed.
Spinal cord injuries often result in chronic pain, which can significantly impact a patient’s quality of life. At MINISTONES TO MILESTONES, we offer a variety of pain management strategies, including physical therapy, medication, and alternative therapies like acupuncture and relaxation techniques. Our goal is to help patients manage pain effectively, allowing them to participate more fully in their rehabilitation process.
We emphasize functional rehabilitation, which focuses on helping patients regain the ability to perform daily activities independently. This includes training in self-care, mobility, and the use of assistive devices. Our team also provides education on adaptive techniques and environmental modifications that can make daily living easier and safer for individuals with SCI.
Dealing with a spinal cord injury can be emotionally challenging for both patients and their families. Our clinic offers psychological support and counseling services to help patients cope with the emotional aspects of their injury, including anxiety, depression, and adjustment to a new way of life. We also offer family counseling to ensure that loved ones are well-equipped to support the patient’s rehabilitation journey.
Our occupational therapy services are designed to help patients regain the skills needed for independent living. This includes training in activities of daily living (ADLs) such as dressing, bathing, eating, and using the bathroom. Our occupational therapists also work on improving fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and cognitive functioning, all of which are crucial for reintegration into daily life.
We utilize the latest in assistive technology and rehabilitation equipment to support our patients’ recovery. This includes the use of exoskeletons, standing frames, and robotic-assisted gait training devices. These technologies play a critical role in enhancing mobility, preventing complications like pressure sores and muscle atrophy, and promoting overall health and well-being.
For patients looking to return to work after a spinal cord injury, we offer vocational rehabilitation services. This includes job training, workplace assessments, and assistance with finding employment that accommodates the patient’s physical abilities. Our goal is to help patients achieve independence and financial stability through meaningful employment.
Reintegration into the community is a key aspect of rehabilitation for spinal cord injury patients. We provide training and resources to help patients navigate public spaces, use public transportation, and engage in social activities. We also offer support groups where patients can connect with others who have similar experiences, share their challenges, and celebrate their successes.
We are committed to providing exceptional care and support to our patients, ensuring they receive the highest quality treatment tailored to their unique needs.
