NEURODEGENERATIVE DISORDERS

We understand the fear and worry that degenerative conditions can bring, whether they affect a family member, a friend or you.

Healthy habits, such as regular exercise, good sleep and staying mentally and socially active, may help lower the risk of some conditions or delay their effects. But it’s never too late to work on function. Even when a condition is progressing, our care focuses on supporting the parts of your nervous system that are still working, with the goal of helping you function as well as possible. We can’t cure degenerative conditions or stop them from progressing, and our care works alongside your neurologist and other providers, never in place of them.

 

WHAT IS A NEURODEGENERATIVE DISORDER?

A neurodegenerative disorder is a disease that causes parts of the brain, spinal cord or nerves to gradually break down. These conditions usually worsen over time, and there are currently no known cures. Some of the best-known neurodegenerative conditions are Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune condition that also involves gradual damage to the nervous system over time.


OUR TREATMENTS

Using a multi-part approach, we look at the changes in movement and thinking that people living with neurodegenerative conditions often experience, with the goal of helping ease some symptoms. Through our NeuroRescue Program, we combine guidance on lifestyle habits, such as exercise, sleep and daily routines, with targeted brain-based exercises, so our care can be one piece of the puzzle alongside the care from your medical team.

“If you are suffering from a traumatic or infection-related or degenerative nervous system problem, this is your next stop. They treat all kinds of nerve and brain injuries. Functional neurology can help you understand and heal your pathways. Don’t accept disability or impairment without trying this first. Confusion is often part of the problem with these injuries. These specialists will show you a way out of the confusion and back to feeling good again. Good luck!!”
— Dr. Susan A.
“As the population ages, Alzheimer’s is expected to affect 135 million people by 2050.  The best way to address this issue is prevention, but it is never too late to improve function.”
