Reason 3

Wheelchair prescription, home-modification advice and vocational planning — not just floor exercises.

Common questions

Kolkata → Vellore for SCI rehab — quick answers

How soon after discharge can we travel from Kolkata?

Most SCI rehab patients travel within 1–3 weeks of acute-care discharge, once medically stable. We coordinate with your Kolkata treating team on fitness-to-travel and arrange airport / station transfer.

Answered by Dr. Karolin Rockson PT

Do we need to book the full block up front?

No. Programmes are billed weekly. Most families commit to a 3-week block first, reassess, then extend based on response and milestones.

Answered by Dr. Karolin Rockson PT

Can one family member stay throughout?

Yes — accommodation options within 1.2 km of the clinic support single caregivers or full-family stays. We include caregiver training as part of the SCI rehab programme.

    "Sports injury from local cricket — my spinal cord injury rehab for kolkata patients was ruining my season. The return-to-sport protocol here is elite: force-plate testing, criteria-based progression, sport-specific drills. Back on the field in 6 weeks, stronger than before."

    "Compared three clinics in Vellore before choosing this one. What convinced me was that the assessment for my spinal cord injury rehab for kolkata patients was proper — orthopedic tests, movement screen, and a written plan. No generic ultrasound-and-go treatment like elsewhere."

    "My father, a diabetic patient in Viruthampet, was recovering from spinal cord injury rehab for kolkata patients. The physiotherapist worked around his sugar levels, mobility, and family schedule. Six weeks in, he is walking without support. Truly patient-centred care."

    "Was skeptical about physiotherapy for spinal cord injury rehab for kolkata patients — thought only rest or surgery would help. After a 45-minute assessment I understood exactly what was wrong and what to do. Symptoms reduced by 70% in one month. Wish I had come earlier."

    "Referred by a colleague in Vellore Fort. The dry-needling and manual therapy for my spinal cord injury rehab for kolkata patients gave same-day relief, and the strengthening plan made it last. First clinic where a physio actually watched me move before treating."
