What We TreatNeurological Conditions

What Causes Neurological Conditions?Neurological conditions encompass a broad range of disorders affecting the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves.

At Cypress Physical Therapy, we specialize in addressing neurological conditions, leveraging our expertise to provide targeted solutions. Some common neurological conditions and their causes include:

• Stroke: Caused by disrupted blood flow to the brain, leading to brain damage. Risk factors include high blood pressure, smoking, and diabetes.
• Multiple Sclerosis (MS): An autoimmune disorder where the immune system attacks the protective covering of nerve fibers, leading to communication problems between the brain and the rest of the body. The exact cause is unknown.
• Parkinson's Disease: Characterized by the degeneration of dopamine-producing neurons in the brain. The precise cause is unclear, but both genetic and environmental factors may play a role.
• Spinal Cord Injury: Often caused by trauma, such as car accidents or falls, resulting in damage to the spinal cord and impairing nerve function below the injury site.
• Peripheral Neuropathy: A condition where peripheral nerves are damaged, leading to symptoms like numbness, tingling, and weakness. Causes include diabetes, infections, and autoimmune diseases.

Physical therapy plays a crucial role in managing neurological conditions by addressing physical impairments, promoting functional independence, and enhancing quality of life. Treatment approaches may include:
