An approachable, informative guide to healing for anyone with acute neurological injury (ANI)—a stroke, spinal cord injury, or traumatic brain injury—by the founder and Director of the University of Rochester Neurorestoration Institute, who is himself a survivor of a severe spinal injury. On Memorial Day in 2009, Dr. Bradford Berk injured his spinal cord in a cycling accident and was left permanently paralyzed. But his recovery progressed far beyond doctors’ expectations, and it continues to this day. Dr. Berk covers each system, offering up-to-date guidance on recovery, treatment, and daily living. Survivors and families will learn how to prevent common problems, find (and pay for) life-changing rehab, ward off depression, return to work, and much more. By sharing candid advice from his own experience, plus insights from the brightest minds in the field, Dr. Berk helps others get back to life.
