Why Vellore

Why Visakhapatnam families choose Vellore for SCI rehab

Reason 1

Residential model supports the 8–16 week timelines SCI recovery actually needs — most home cities can't sustain daily 3-hour sessions.

Reason 2

Bowel-bladder retraining, pressure-sore prevention and transfer training taught to both patient and primary caregiver.

Reason 3

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

Common questions

Visakhapatnam → Vellore for SCI rehab — quick answers

How soon after discharge can we travel from Visakhapatnam?

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