What we treat
Grouped by what you are actually experiencing. If your condition is not listed, call — the question is always whether the origin of the problem is neurological and reachable.
Peripheral neuropathy is what happens when the nerves carrying messages between the brain, spinal cord and the rest of the body are damaged or diseased. That disruption impairs muscle function and normal sensation in the arms and legs, and causes pain.
Around 30% of peripheral neuropathy is idiopathic — the cause is never identified. That does not stop the condition being treatable.
If a ligament is torn but not completely severed, there is a real chance an operation can be avoided. The clinic’s position is that the tear happened because muscles were not absorbing force — so that is what gets treated.
These are long courses of treatment, and the honest framing matters: the aim is mobility, muscle strength, sensation and quality of life. How far that goes depends heavily on the stage of the disease.
An inherited disorder causing peripheral nerve damage, smaller and weaker muscles, loss of sensation and difficulty walking. We cannot correct hammertoes or high arches — those are structural. Mobility, muscle strength, sensation and drop foot are what treatment targets.
Motor neurons deteriorate and stop sending messages to the muscles. Treatment works on reconnecting damaged nerve signalling to help patients hold on to mobility. Course length depends on the stage of the disease.
A progressive movement disorder — tremor, stiffness, slowed movement, reduced facial expression, softened speech. Depending on the stage, the clinic’s treatment courses can run up to a full year.
A form of dysautonomia: the autonomic nervous system fails to regulate heart rate and blood pressure on standing. Treated with interactive SEA sessions. Recovery varies considerably from person to person because POTS has several types.
Treatment is aimed at relieving suffering, spasticity and loss of flexibility rather than at the underlying disease.
The long tail of injuries that never quite resolved, plus conditioning work for athletes.
A pre- and post-surgery evaluation exists for one reason: to test, with you in the room, whether the pain you feel is actually coming from the place that hurts. If it is not, an operation on that place is unlikely to fix it.
