Neurological Rehabilitation

The nervous system can form new connections after damage; this is called neuroplasticity. Neurological rehabilitation rests on exactly that: well-chosen, sufficiently repeated and meaningful tasks allow part of a lost function to be regained. Fizyoterapist Aydın Ali defines the goal in terms of independence in daily life.

Seated strength and balance work in the rehabilitation room

When is it needed?

  • Dizziness triggered by neck movement
  • Numbness in the hand and fingers, worse at night (carpal tunnel)
  • Numbness spreading from the inside of the elbow to the little finger (ulnar nerve)
  • A noticeable drop in grip strength
  • A sense of foot drop (peripheral nerve compression)
  • A "swaying" sensation without actual loss of balance

What we do

  • Distinguishing whether dizziness originates from the neck or the inner ear
  • Determining the level of nerve compression through reflex/sensory examination
  • Neural gliding exercises
  • Work on balance and position sense
  • Graded strengthening of grip and hand muscles
  • Referral to a physician if findings progress

Neurological Rehab in Bursa Nilüfer

Fizyoterapist Aydın Ali provides one-to-one care for neurological rehab at the clinic in Bursa Nilüfer — in Fethiye Mahallesi, on Kelebek Sokak, at a central point of Nilüfer, opposite the Fethiye covered market.

It is a short trip by car or public transport from İhsaniye, Odunluk, Balat, Özlüce, Ataevler, 23 Nisan and the surrounding areas. Every session is one-to-one, assessment-based and tailored to you.

Is the dizziness coming from the neck, or a nerve?

In general practice, the most common form of neurological rehabilitation isn't severe presentations but neck-related balance complaints and peripheral nerve compressions — carpal tunnel, ulnar nerve and the like. Telling these apart from orthopaedic-origin cases is the first job of the assessment.

Fizyoterapist Aydın Ali makes this distinction through reflex, muscle-strength and sensory testing. If a nerve-origin finding is confirmed, the programme is built around it; where findings are progressive or severe, the person is referred to a physician — the limit of physiotherapy's scope is clear from the outset.

Carpal tunnel, or neck-related?

Numbness in the hand doesn't always come from carpal tunnel; a compressed nerve root in the neck can produce a similar picture. Since the two require different treatment, this distinction is clarified early in the exam — the pattern of numbness across the fingers and the position that triggers it give important clues.

When does dizziness come from the neck?

Dizziness triggered by neck movement, described more as "swaying" than spinning, and easing with neck treatment, is usually cervicogenic in origin. That's how it differs from inner-ear dizziness; Fizyoterapist Aydın Ali makes this distinction as part of the assessment.

When is surgery needed for nerve compression?

Most cases of carpal tunnel and similar compressions are managed in the early stage with exercise and position changes. Where there's muscle wasting, constant numbness or progressive weakness, referral to a physician for surgical assessment follows.

When to see a physician without delay?

Progressive weakness in the hand or foot, muscle wasting, changes in bladder/bowel control, or sudden one-sided weakness call for physician assessment without waiting.

Frequently asked questions

Can carpal tunnel improve without surgery?

In the early stage, night splinting and neural gliding exercises bring noticeable relief in many cases; advanced stages may need surgery.

How can you tell dizziness is neck-related?

Being triggered by neck movement and easing with neck treatment is a typical sign; inner-ear causes are also ruled out separately in the assessment.

Do neural gliding exercises increase pain?

Not at the right dose; exercises stay below the pain threshold and are progressed gradually.
