Neurological Conditions

Comprehensive Neurological Therapy

We treat all types of chronic and acute neurological conditions.

Diseases and injuries to the nervous system can have dramatic effects across the body affecting ones ability to function. Simple tasks can become extremely difficult and one’s independence can be lost. The nervous system controls the muscles of the body, joint movements, balance and coordination. It is important to note that with the right kind of therapy you can improve your level of function, relieve pain, improve your balance, and enhance walking and safety.

Generation Care is known for its comprehensive therapy options for patients with a wide range of acute and chronic neurological conditions, including:

Stroke (CVA) – Cerebrovascular Accident
Brain Tumor
Pediatric Diagnoses (cerebral palsy, genetic conditions, shaken baby syndrome)
Multiple Sclerosis
Closed Head Injury and Post-Concussion Therapy
Cognitive Care© – for dementia staging and management
Spinal Cord Injury Recovery
Parkinson’s Disease

Post-Concussion Care

Generation Care’s unique concussion program focuses on a multi-dimensional approach to correcting and re-balancing key systems, facilitating a FULL recovery.

90% of concussions resolve within two weeks. Subtle problems with dizziness, concentration and memory, neck pain, headache and balance issues may continue for years to come without intervention.

Physical therapists who specialize in specific treatment approaches, and speech pathologists with specialized training in cognition and executive functioning, work together to clear all systems, preventing problems in the years to come – often overlooked in the initial injury assessment process.

Cranio-sacral techniques and dermoneuromodulation to assist with treatment of headaches and sensory disturbances
Vestibular therapy for intermittent vertigo or dizziness
Balance recovery and re-training
TMJ – jaw mobility and alignment limitations secondary to trauma
Upper cervical mobility and stability restored secondary to post-traumatic guarding

Tandem Bicycling

PEDALING FOR PARKINSONS™: Based on the cutting edge research at the Cleveland Clinic, Generation Care is part of meeting the need for Parkinson’s patients through high speed, high intensity tandem cycling. The research protocol of three times per week, 40 minute rides at 80-90 RPM’s, is met with a volunteer rider on the back seat, forcing the clipped in lower extremities of the person with Parkinson’s to meet the physical demand by setting the high pace. Studies show that medication can be lowered; tremors and rigidity impacted, and cardiovascular results are amazing too!

* Please let us know if you would like to trial the biking or volunteer to ride with a PWP (person with Parkinson’s). Contact us for more information!
