Acute Injury Rehabilitation: Our physical therapists provide a variety of services to clients who have sustained an acute injury. A comprehensive evaluation is completed and treatment provided in accordance with physician prescriptional programs and use a variety of physical agents, including iontophoresis, phonophoresis, ultrasound, hot/cold packs, and more.

Back Rehabilitation: The Physical Therapists perform a thorough musculoskeletal/neurological assessment and develop an individualized treatment program to facilitate a functional recovery and alleviate discomfort. Emphasis is placed on educational training to increase knowledge of back function and application to a safe and healthy lifestyle.

Occupational Therapy: The Occupational Therapist will provide evaluations, therapy sessions and home exercise programs for clients who have had any disruption of their independent life-style. An evaluation of each client occurs with obtaining essential medical, vocational and social histories. The performance of daily activities at work, home and leisure are part of the initial consultation. Along with hands-on therapeutic treatment, modalities are often called for in certain diagnoses. These include Ultrasound, Iontophoresis, Electrical Muscle Stimulation, Paraffin and Tens. Occupational Therapy also utilizes adaptive equipment for individuals who require assistance in their daily activity. Such tools may aid an individual in dressing, eating, and performing self care activities.

Physical Therapy: Physical Therapists focus on the prevention and rehabilitation of physical dysfunction resulting from orthopedic injuries, neurological deficits, musculoskeletal problems, arthritis and chronic pain. Treatment provided may include neuromuscular stimulation, muscle re-education and strengthening, coordination exercises, soft tissue and joint mobilization, traction, isokinetic testing and training.

Speech and Language Therapy: The Speech and Language Pathologist evaluates and treats speech, language, cognitive and swallowing disorders that may result from stroke, neurological disease, traumatic brain injury, oral/laryngeal cancer and/or developmental delays. Treatment is individualized and focused on helping you recover speech skills, language skills and swallowing and learn compensatory techniques that will facilitate communication.
