HEALTH TIPS
Kimberly Heckert M.D.

Some warning signs of a stroke include: numbness, weakness of the face, arm, leg, especially on one side of the body, confusion, trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance and coordination. Not all warning signs occur in every stroke, therefore it is important not to ignore these warning signs, even if they go away.

 
Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation Medicine

Stroke, vascular disorders, infections, brain and spinal cord trauma, and degenerative, structural or neuromuscular disorders can damage the nervous system causing loss of function (impairments) that can lead to disability.

A.R.M. physicians provide care in the Comprehensive Inpatient, Sub-Acute Inpatient and Outpatient rehabilitation settings to address impairments and disability caused by many conditions and injuries including:
• Stroke
• Spinal Cord Injury
• Brain Injury
• Guillain-Barre Syndrome (nerve inflammation causing severe weakness/paralysis)
• Mutiple Sclerosis
• Parkinson’s Disease
• Lyme Disease
Our programs help survivors recover strength, coordination, balance, mobility, and relearn daily skills that may have been affected or lost due to neurologic or brain injury including:
• Bathing, dressing, using the toilet, handwriting (self care activities and activities of daily living)
• Speech and swallowing
• Language and communication
• Cognition (memory, attention, thought processes, and related brain activities)
• Bladder or bowel function
• Coordination and balance
• Strength, mobility, and muscle control
• Reducing pain, spasticity, sensory loss, or weakness
• Managing the stress, anxiety and depression that often accompanies serious neurologic illnesses, injuries, and diseases
