Stroke Evaluation and Management
A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted, depriving brain tissue of oxygen. Because every second counts, rapid and accurate evaluation is critical for minimizing damage and improving recovery outcomes. At Covenant Spine and Neurology, our team is equipped to deliver timely stroke evaluation and long-term management with compassion and expertise.
Comprehensive Stroke Evaluation
After a stroke, understanding the extent and location of brain damage is the first step toward recovery. We use:
-
Advanced imaging such as CT or MRI scans to assess brain structures.
-
Neurological exams to evaluate strength, coordination, reflexes, and sensation.
-
Functional assessments to measure speech, memory, mobility, and cognitive skills.
These tools allow us to determine the severity of the stroke and build a personalized plan for recovery.
Tailored Rehabilitation Plans
Recovery after a stroke looks different for every patient. Based on your unique needs, our care plans may focus on:
-
Restoring mobility and strength through physical therapy.
-
Rebuilding speech and communication skills with targeted therapy.
-
Supporting memory and cognition through neurocognitive rehabilitation.
-
Promoting independence with strategies to safely manage daily activities.
Our approach is designed to adapt as you progress, ensuring you have the best chance at regaining function and quality of life.
