Physical Therapy Specialists in NJ

Recovering from surgery can sometimes just mean rest and taking the time to heal.  However, in the aftermath of surgeries treating neurological disorders, the recovery process is more challenging and complex.  Physical therapy is usually required to regain the patient’s quality of life and normal range of function.  North Jersey Brain & Spine deals with these patients daily and has physical therapy specialists in NJ to help you get your life back on track.

Neck and back disorders are common, but can be very damaging and require delicate care for recovery.  New Jersey Back & Spine’s NJ physical therapy specialists are well-equipped to handle neck and back problems because they are McKenzie certified.  This provides them with the skill set necessary to help patients get their life back, by minimizing pain and restoring normal movement.  Some of the issues they have previously treated are:

• Spinal stenosis
• Herniated or bulging discs
• Muscle strains or sprains
• Spinal decompression
• Laminectomy
• Spinal fusion
• Microdisectomy

To avoid any complications, our center is connected with our medical practice.  This allows open communication and sharing of medical records to ensure proper treatment and evaluation.  It also prevents any overbooking of appointments since your time is valuable.  Each patient works with an NJ physical therapy specialist and sees that same therapist each visit in order to establish consistency and familiarity.  

The recovery process is crucial to a patient’s well-being and must be performed correctly.  To find out more about our physical therapy specialists in NJ and to learn how we can help you or your family members, call us today at 201-342-2550.

Endovascular Specialists in NJ

Endovascular specialists in NJ work to treat problems that affect blood vessels through minimally-invasive procedures. At North Jersey Brain and Spine, we have the largest neurosurgical group in Bergen County which has the techniques to treat vascular conditions with internal imaging technology and catheters.

Previously known as Comprehensive Neurosurgical PC, North Jersey Brain and Spine has board-certified neurosurgeons with training in spine, neuro-oncology, skull base surgery, endovascular and functional neurosurgery. We have two office locations in Hackensack and Oradell, and we work with four major hospitals including Hackensack Hospital, Holy Name Hospital, Valley Hospital and Englewood Hospital.

Endovascular specialists in NJ are trained to treat vascular conditions by inserting catheters into blood vessels to target the problem directly. Fluid and coils are inserted directly into the bloodstream to treat problems such as aneurysms, atherosclerosis, strokes and vascular trauma. Interventional neuroradiology techniques are also used to treat these problems in the vascular system.

Movement Disorder Specialists in New Jersey

Movement disorders greatly impact the quality of one’s life.  They can put added stress on a family and even make everyday activities such as walking, eating, and speaking more difficult.  Causes are often unknown for these conditions, but there are treatments that can fight the effects of a movement disorder and help you live a fuller life.  At North Jersey Brain & Spine, our NJ movement disorder specialists are trained in such treatments and ready to work with you.

Professional care is our first priority and each of our expects is committed to helping patients get better.  Some of the conditions our movement disorder specialists in NJ can treat are the following:

• Parkinson’s Disease - Degenerative disease of the central nervous system that may affect anything from altered posture to actions and thought.  There is no cure at the present, but treatment can curb symptoms.

• Essential Tremor - Slow-progressing neurological disorder that may involve only minor tremors, but could progress enough to limit one’s ability to write and even get dressed.  Treatment gives more control over the symptoms.

• Dystonia - May be difficult to diagnose given its similarities to other movement disorders such as Parkinson’s and essential tremor.  Like Parkinson’s, the treatment options are abundant.

• Spasticity - Stiffness of the muscles that can limit control over movement.  There are varying treatments and even a surgical option for spasticity.

Before any treatment, we always hold consultations with prospective patients.  In the consultation, we will discuss the movement disorder as well as the treatment options available for your individual situation.  Patients and their families will have all of their questions answered by our NJ movement disorder specialists.  

Do not let another day go by living with a movement disorder.  To take back control of your life, give us a call today at 201-342-2550 and set up a consultation.
