Stroke and Neurological Rehabilitation
- We provide rehabilitation for patients recovering from stroke, Multiple Sclerosis, Guillain-Barré Syndrome and other neuro-degenerative disease. We provide hospital inpatient and outpatient care and support.
Pulmonary Rehabilitation
- Pulmonary rehabilitation, also known as pulmonary rehab or PR, is a program for people who have chronic (ongoing) breathing problems. It can help improve your ability to function and quality of life. PR does not replace your medical treatment. Instead, you use them together. This rehabilitation helps those recover from COPD, Emphysema, Pulmonary Fibrosis, and patients with POST-COVID19 lung damage.
Physical Therapy
- In collaboration with you and your physician, our physical therapists will help you achieve a healthy, active lifestyle and help you manage your health over the long term.
Sports/non-sport Injuries and Joint Problems
- We employ a holistic and team approach which includes care by orthopedic surgeons, primary care doctors, and physical therapists.
Cardiac Rehabilitation
Dr. Alex Hernández
Cardiac Rehabilitationist
Cardiac rehabilitation doesn’t change your past, but it can help you improve your heart’s future.
Chapala Med’s cardiac rehabilitation is a medically supervised program designed to improve your cardiovascular health if you have experienced heart attack, heart failure, angioplasty, or heart surgery.
What does cardiac rehabilitation involve? There are three equally important components:
Exercise Counseling and Training:
- Exercise gets your heart pumping and your entire cardiovascular system working. You’ll learn how to get your body moving in ways that promote heart health.
Education for Heart-healthy living:
- A key element of cardiac rehab is educating yourself: How can you manage your risk factors? Quit smoking? Make heart-healthy nutrition choices?
Counseling to Reduce Stress:
- Stress hurts your heart. This part of cardiac rehab helps you identify and tackle everyday sources of stress.
All rehabilitation services are provided in our locations
at both Lakeside hospitals and all major Guadalajara hospitals,
as well as your own home.
