What is neurorehabilitation?

Neurorehabilitation is a form of rehabilitation that treats conditions involving the nervous system. The nervous system is made up of two main parts: the central nervous system is the brain and spinal cord, while the peripheral nervous system comprises the nerves that extend to every part of your body.

Working together, they create comprehensive neurorehabilitation programs that include all the therapies necessary to improve function and reduce symptoms.
