Our Approach to ALS Care
While no proven treatment or cure exists yet for ALS, the NeuroRehab and Balance Center can help you manage symptoms and maintain your quality of life with the help of occupational therapists, physical therapists, and speech-language pathologists. A case manager and exercise physiologist are also available to help you recover.
Occupational Therapists
An occupational therapist can help with
- Accessibility recommendations: Your therapist can recommend home modifications and adaptive technology to help you with everyday life.
Physical Therapists
A physical therapist can help you with
- Strength training: Your therapist can help you build strength and improve your joint flexibility.
- Fatigue: Your therapist will teach you how to conserve energy and manage fatigue during recovery.
Speech-language Pathologists
A speech-language pathologist can help you with
- Communication problems: Your speech-language pathologist can address any issues with talking and language comprehension.
- Accessibility recommendations: You may benefit from speech-generating or alternative speech devices, and your speech-language pathologist can help you determine the best option.
- Swallowing difficulties: Your therapist can complete an assessment to provide safe feeding recommendations.
