ATOMIC NEURO

West Nile Virus (WNV)

Recovery after West Nile Virus (WNV) can be challenging, especially if it has affected your nervous system, strength, or balance. At Atomic Physical Therapy, we provide specialized rehabilitation for West Nile Virus survivors via Dr. Kathryn Bugasch, a certified neurological PT, to improve mobility, restore function, and reduce lingering symptoms.

While most people recover fully from West Nile Virus, some develop neurological complications such as muscle weakness, coordination problems, fatigue, or even paralysis. These issues may result from West Nile neuroinvasive disease, which can affect the brain, spinal cord, and nervous system. At Atomic Physical Therapy, our West Nile Virus rehabilitation programs in Boulder and Broomfield address these lingering neurological effects through a combination of strength training, mobility work, balance retraining, and neurorehabilitation techniques. Our goal is to help you regain independence, reduce fatigue, and return to the activities that matter most to you.

How Physical Therapy Helps after West Nile Virus

Rehabilitation for West Nile Virus focuses on restoring mobility, retraining muscle control, improving balance, and increasing endurance. By combining targeted exercises, functional movement practice, and neurological retraining, physical therapy can help improve quality of life and reduce the risk of long-term disability.
