When to See a Physical Therapist for Neurological Symptoms

Physical therapy can help with symptoms of neurological conditions, but you should pursue treatment once you have a diagnosis. Contact your doctor if you notice symptoms like:

  • Unexplained balance problems or frequent falls
  • Difficulty with coordination or fine motor skills
  • Weakness in specific muscle groups
  • Changes in gait or walking pattern

Physical therapy can help with neurological conditions that cause:

  • Persistent pain related to a neurological condition
  • Balance issues and vertigo
  • Decreased range of motion in joints
  • Difficulty performing daily activities

If you’ve been hospitalized for a neurological event (like a stroke) or notice that symptoms of an existing neurological condition are worsening, consider speaking with your doctor for guidance. Physical therapy could help.

Frequently Asked Questions About Neurological Conditions

Neurological disorders are caused by different things. Sometimes there is more than one factor at play behind a neurologic condition. Some common causes include genetic factors; infections that affect the nervous system,

trauma to the brain, spinal cord, or nerves; environmental factors (like exposure to toxins, pollutants, or certain medications); autoimmune disorders, degenerative processes; vascular issues; certain nutritional deficiencies; and tumors.

Balance problems are a common issue associated with many neurological disorders. When your nervous system is affected, it can disrupt the complex interplay between your brain, sensory organs, and muscles that maintain balance. Some neurological conditions that frequently cause balance issues include vestibular disorders, cerebellar ataxia, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease and stroke. Depending on the condition, you might benefit from physical therapy and/or vestibular therapy.
