Cancer Rehabilitation

Cancer survivors face both physical and psycho-social issues that affect their quality of life, no matter what kind of cancer they have overcome. Individuals in the middle of cancer treatment need therapy to help offset the health issues they face as a result of their treatments or the cancer itself.

Rehabilitation for cancer patients can include pain control, bladder and bowel management, and management of spasticity and/or weakness. Physiatrists’ experience as the leader in interdisciplinary medical teams helps bridge the gap between a cancer patient’s rehabilitation issues and medical issues.
