A stroke is a life-threatening emergency condition where every second counts. If you or someone with you has symptoms of a stroke, IMMEDIATELY call 911.

Stroke

A stroke is your brain’s equivalent of a heart attack, happening when there’s an issue with blood flow to part of your brain.

One of the most important ways to treat stroke in the long term is to help a person recover or adapt to the changes in their brain. That’s especially true when it comes to helping them regain abilities they had before the stroke.

Stroke rehabilitation is a major part of recovery for most people who have a stroke. At Neurologik Clinic and Neurologik Rehab our team will help diagnose, treat and develop a rehabilitation plan to maximize your recovery.

  • The symptoms of stroke can involve one or more of the following:

    • One-sided weakness or paralysis

    • Aphasia (difficulty with or loss of speaking ability)

    • Slurred or garbled speaking (dysarthria)

    • Loss of muscle control on one side of your face

    • Sudden loss — either partial or total — of one or more senses (vision, hearing, smell, taste and touch)

    • Blurred or double vision (diplopia)

    • Loss of coordination or clumsiness (ataxia)
