Condition
Peripheral Neuropathy
Rehabilitation for peripheral neuropathy at HEJJE is aimed at improving function, managing symptoms, and enhancing quality of life for individuals affected by this condition. Here’s how we approach peripheral neuropathy rehabilitation:
Comprehensive Assessment
We conduct a thorough evaluation to assess the extent of peripheral neuropathy, including sensory deficits, motor impairments, and functional limitations. This assessment guides the development of a personalized rehabilitation plan tailored to each individual’s specific needs and goals.
Physical Therapy
Our physical therapists focus on addressing motor deficits, improving balance, coordination, and gait, and reducing pain associated with peripheral neuropathy. Through targeted exercises, manual therapy techniques, and balance training, we help individuals regain mobility, strength, and functional independence.
Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapists work with individuals to address difficulties in activities of daily living, such as dressing, grooming, cooking, and household tasks. We provide adaptive techniques, assistive devices, and ergonomic modifications to optimize independence and safety in daily activities.
Sensory Re-Education
We offer sensory re-education techniques to help individuals with peripheral neuropathy improve sensory awareness, discrimination, and proprioception. Through sensory stimulation activities, graded sensory exercises, and desensitization techniques, we aim to enhance sensory function and reduce symptoms such as numbness and tingling.
Pain Management
Our team provides interventions to manage pain associated with peripheral neuropathy, including neuropathic pain, neuropathic itching, and hypersensitivity. This may include modalities such as transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), heat therapy, cold therapy, and manual techniques to alleviate pain and discomfort.
Balance and Fall Prevention
We focus on improving balance, coordination, and proprioception to reduce the risk of falls and injuries in individuals with peripheral neuropathy. Through balance exercises, vestibular rehabilitation, and environmental modifications, we help individuals maintain stability and prevent falls.
Assistive Technology
We explore the use of assistive devices and adaptive equipment to enhance independence and safety in daily life activities. This may include orthotic devices, mobility aids, ergonomic tools, and environmental modifications to support functional abilities and reduce the risk of injury.
Education and Self-Management
We provide education and support to individuals with peripheral neuropathy and their families, empowering them to actively manage symptoms, optimize medication management, and engage in self-care strategies. We offer resources, information, and referrals to community services and support networks to enhance overall well-being.
At HEJJE, we are committed to providing comprehensive, multidisciplinary peripheral neuropathy rehabilitation services that address the physical, sensory, functional, and psychosocial needs of individuals living with this condition. Our team works collaboratively to optimize function, independence, and quality of life for patients and their families throughout the rehabilitation journey.
