A specialist will first gather general information about the patient's health, review their medical history, and conduct a physical examination. Based on the findings, further treatment or diagnostic procedures are recommended.
After treatment of certain medical conditions, rehabilitation may be required to improve the physical or cognitive functions of patients. In some cases, rehabilitative treatment might be essential for children born with certain conditions.
Sports injuries, medical conditions, work-related injuries or accidents, in general, can cause physical and cognitive impairments.
A doctor will first diagnose the condition thoroughly before assessing whether a patient needs to be part of an inpatient rehabilitation program. This will include daily rehabilitation nursing along with physician care.
Annual health checkups and discussions with your doctor about risk factors and preventive methods should never be overlooked. It is important to get yearly checkups to maintain good health in the future.
Manipal Hospital is dedicated to providing high-quality, personalized care and building long-term partnerships with its patients. Our Rehabilitation Medicine department and its patients are a testament to this.
