How To Diagnose And Treat Schwannomas

Physical Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation is a form of care that can help a patient regain, keep, or enhance abilities they need for everyday life. In the sense of physical rehabilitation, this consists of anything physical an individual does on a regular basis to meet their needs. Schwannomas can cause patients to be in chronic pain, lose their ability to mobilize, and or impair a certain part of their body. In addition, the treatment for schwannomas can also have side effects that cause a patient to lose their physical ability to perform everyday functions. In regions where treatment of a schwannoma results in the complete removal of one or more nerves, the patient may have to relearn how to use that particular muscle or set of muscles. The rehabilitation for issues caused by a schwannoma will have different goals and focuses from patient to patient. The main objective of this type of treatment is for the individual to regain their independence and normalcy in living their everyday life.
