Orthopedic Rehabilitation
Orthopedic Rehabilitation is more than applying a brace or specific
technique. It is a comprehensive program designed not only to reduce
the effects of an injury or orthopedic problem, but prevent it
from returning. Our program is designed for those who require post
surgical or non-surgical spine care, or have sustained a fracture,
joint replacement, amputation or arthritic conditions resulting
in challenges in mobility.
Orthopedic injuries and conditions are generally characterized
by a decrease in strength, endurance and mobility along with increased
pain. In response, our Rehabilitation Center's treatment options
concentrate on improving endurance and strength through regimented
exercise programs, improving mobility, prescribing adaptive aids
for activities of daily living and alleviating pain through medical
management and therapy. Whether being treated for a one-time problem
or for a long-term condition, our Rehabilitation Center provides
individualized, focused, comprehensive care.
Our highly skilled therapists will identify and work with each
person's unique abilities and take into consideration their individual
needs.
