CONDITIONS TREATED
Our rehabilitation and therapy services
Rehab therapy can help any patient of any age whose medical condition, illness, or injury limits their ability to move and function.
Patients are referred for service after a stroke, brain injury, spinal cord injury, orthopedic injury, surgery, cancer, loss of limb, neurological, or medically complex conditions. Sometimes, physicians refer patients to therapy at the first sign of a problem like arthritis because rehabilitation is considered a conservative way to address some conditions. In general, rehabilitation therapy can help:
- Relieve pain and restore muscle and joint function through therapeutic exercises and manual therapy.
- Avoid or prepare for surgery by promoting healing and speeding recovery.
- Improve mobility with stretching and strengthening exercises for better movement.
- Recover from burns, strokes, or other serious conditions by restoring physical and motor functions, speech, and swallowing abilities.
- Prevent and recover from sports injuries with targeted exercise programs.
- Improve balance and prevent falls through specialized coordination exercises.
- Manage diabetes and vascular conditions with exercise programs that control blood sugar and prevent complications.
- Address age-related issues like arthritis, osteoporosis, and joint replacement recovery.
- Support heart and lung health after surgery or illness with conditioning and breathing exercises.
- Manage women’s health concerns, including pregnancy and post-partum care.
