Cancer rehabilitation clinics information and locations in Mexico
Cancer rehabilitation can help speed up the recovery process after cancer surgery and manage the
symptoms of chemotherapy treatment and cancer. Cancer rehabilitation can involve physical
therapy and chiropractic care.
Cancer can affect various parts of the body and leave you with cognitive problems, functional
limitations, and impairments like walking, standing up, fatigue, pain, mental fogginess, and
loss of strength and flexibility. The main goal of rehabilitation is to help patients regain
strength, independence and improve their quality of life.
Therapy for cancer patients involves the attention of a physical therapist and chiropractor; both will work side by side to create a rehabilitation plan according to the type of cancer and its treatment. During the rehabilitation, patients can expect a combination of exercise, massage therapy, hot and cold treatment, acupuncture, or electrical stimulation.
Rehabilitation clinics focus on creating a personalized plan so that international patients can have a therapy session at the clinic and continue their exercises at home. This will allow you to schedule the therapy you need while you are in Mexico for other medical purposes, work, or vacations.
