Our Areas of Specialization Include
Treatment of Neurological Conditions
Our focus on brain and spinal cord related conditions includes working with patients recovering from the effects of spinal cord injuries, stroke, head injury or debilitating neurological illnesses.
Treatment of Balance and Dizziness Conditions
Approximately 40 percent of people older than 65 fall each year. While most escape serious injury, fear of falling can cause them to limit their activities.
Fortunately, proper evaluation can detect specific balance problems, and focused exercise can improve stability and strength while decreasing dizziness that can come from weak muscles and poor sensory integration. The St. Charles Rehabilitation Center offers a balance and vestibular retraining program.
The program features the use of Smart Balance Master, a state-of-the-art assessment and training system that provides objective data regarding sensory input and balance control. Therapists will also perform thorough sensory and motor assessment, which will help define the cause of your balance problem and help the specialist customize your treatment for maximum benefit.

We offer a variety of programs that are of particular interest to the elderly.
