People with vestibular disorders often experience problems with vertigo, dizziness, visual disturbance, and imbalance.

Developmental delay describes the behavior of young children whose development in key mental and physical areas is slower than other children of the same age. The delay can be in any of a number of areas of development, such as movement (motor control), speaking, thinking, playing, or self-care skills. Physical therapist can give detailed guidance on building motor skills one step at a time to reach established goals.
Due to anesthesia, post-operative care takes time. Often during surgery, a Nerve Block will be used to ensure that post-op pain is reduced. In summary, Nerve Blocks block the nerves from sending pain to the brain, but due to nerves not firing, the blocked nerves don’t allow movement of the affected limb.

We are here for you.
