Why Vellore

Why Vijayawada families choose Vellore for SCI rehab

Reason 3

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

Common questions

Vijayawada → Vellore for SCI rehab — quick answers

How soon after discharge can we travel from Vijayawada?

Most SCI rehab patients travel within 1–3 weeks of acute-care discharge, once medically stable. We coordinate with your Vijayawada 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.

    "As a small business owner from Vellore Fort, I struggled with spinal cord injury rehab for vijayawada patients for months before coming here. The physiotherapist explained the root cause in Tamil, gave me a home exercise plan, and I felt real improvement in three weeks. Best decision I made this year."

    "Sports injury from local cricket — my spinal cord injury rehab for vijayawada 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 vijayawada patients was proper — orthopedic tests, movement screen, and a written plan. No generic ultrasound-and-go treatment like elsewhere."
