Medical conditions treated in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation include:

• Brain Injury Usually the result is a violent blow or jolt to the head or body. An object that penetrates brain tissue, such as a bullet or broken skull, can also cause traumatic brain injury. Mild traumatic brain injury can have a temporary effect on your brain cells.

• Cancer is a disease caused when cells divide uncontrollably and spread to surrounding tissues. Cancer is caused by DNA changes. Most cancer-causing DNA changes occur in DNA sections called genes. These changes are also referred to as genetic changes.

• Cerebralpalsy It is a category of disorders that influence movement and muscle tone or posture. It is caused by damage to the infant brain as it grows, most often before birth.

• Dysphagia Is the medical term used to describe swallowing difficulties. Dysphagia involves trouble beginning a swallow (called oropharyngeal dysphagia) and thinking the food is trapped in the neck or chest (called oesophageal dysphagia).

• Osteoporosis: A condition in which bone density and consistency are increasing, which literally means brittle bone. When bones become more brittle and fragile, there is a major increase in the risk of fracture. The bone loss happens slowly and steadily. There are often no signs until the first fracture takes place.

The neural tube is the embryonic structure that eventually develops into the brain and spinal cord of the baby and the tissues surrounding it.

  Other strokes are caused by brain tissue bleeding when a blood vessel bursts (hemorrhagic stroke).
