Rehabilitation is care that can help you get back, keep, or improve abilities that you need for daily life. These abilities may be physical, mental, and/or cognitive (thinking and learning). You may have lost them because of a disease or injury, or as a side effect from a medical treatment. Rehabilitation can improve your daily life and functioning.
Who needs rehabilitation?
Injuries and trauma
Stroke
Severe infections
Major surgery
Side effects from medical treatments
Certain birth defects and genetic disorders
Developmental disabilities
Chronic pain, including back and neck pain
It's to cut your pain and raise your quality of life. Treatment at a pain clinic can give you the skills to manage your chronic pain on your own and make you more able to function, possibly so that you may return to work.
