Got Pain? Our Program Can Help

Chronic pain accounts for thousands of doctor visits each year and is one of the leading causes of worker absenteeism and poor quality of life. An individual who has been in pain for a long time is likely to suffer from a number of symptoms in addition to pain, including decreased activity levels, depression, anxiety, frustration, poor sleep, deconditioning and changes in their social and occupational lives. Our Pain Rehabilitation Program treats patients as a whole, targeting the many factors that impact pain, suffering and overall outcome. Learn more

Hearing Aids and Treatment

We offer a comprehensive selection of the most current digital hearing aids and accessories to meet the needs of adults, as well as children, with hearing loss.  We use state-of-the-art equipment to produce accurate results in hearing loss evaluation and for precise fitting of hearing devices. A physician order is needed for some services.

Physical Conditioning

Qualified exercise therapists and medical staff supervise a customized exercise program using advanced EKG monitoring.

Urinary Incontinence Treatment

Loss of bladder control is not a disease. Rather, it is a sign that a problem may exist. Regular leakage of urine can occur with certain movements, during pregnancy or times of stress. When leakage of urine becomes frequent or severe enough to become a social or hygienic problem, it is called urinary incontinence. Leakage of urine that cannot be controlled should prompt the patient to see a doctor. Proper diagnosis and treatment may correct the problem and ease the symptoms of urinary incontinence.

Pelvic Floor Repair

Surgical repair of the pelvic floor, which refers to the pelvic diaphragm, the sphincter mechanism of the lower urinary tract, the upper and lower vaginal supports, and the internal and external anal sphincters. It is a network of muscles, ligaments and other tissues that hold up the pelvic organs (vagina, rectum, uterus and bladder). When this system is torn or weakens, the organs may shift, bulge and push outward or against each other. As a result, women may suffer from urinary or fecal incontinence or obstruction, vaginal prolapse, vaginal pain, sexual dysfunction, and other problems.

Outpatient Psychological Services

Psychological counseling on an outpatient basis.

Orthopaedic Rehab

Physical therapy for injuries or disease of the skeletal system and associated muscles, joints and ligaments.

Brain Injury Program

Treats individuals rehabilitating from open and closed traumatic brain injury (TBI), anoxic or hypoxic encephalopathy, and aneurysms, as well as coma-level and coma-emerging patients. Therapy works to improve mobility, balance, thinking, problem-solving skills, swallowing, speech and other issues that could affect transition back into the community.

Spine Stabilization

Most neck and lower back pain is caused by spinal instability, a condition that emerges when the ligaments and muscles that support the spine have become so weak that they no longer support the spine properly and allow it to move in abnormal ways. Spine stabilization limits the mobility of the spine to reduce pain.

Neuromuscular Re-education

Neuromuscular re-education is a technique used in therapy to help improve balance, coordination, posture and body awareness. Balance and postural stability exercises may be used and the patient is encouraged to feel the correct position of joints and where the extremity is in space.

Gait and Mobility Training

Physical therapy for those experiencing problems related to walking and mobiity.

Functional Capacity Evaluations

Functional Capacity Evaluations are performed to determine an individual's overall ability to perform physical work. The evaluation describes a person's maximum capacity in seven major areas including: dynamic strength, mobility, coordination, endurance, position tolerance, balance and fine motor.

Audiology Services

In addition to hearing tests (audiogram), audiology services can include tests such as Multi-Frequency Tympanometry, Middle Ear Muscle Reflexes, Otoacoustic Emission Testing, Amplification/Hearing aid evaluations and dispensing, and numerous other tests.

Women's Rehabilitation Services

Rehabilitation programs and services designed specifically for women.

Pain Rehabilitation

A program designed for persons with residual impairment from injury, disease or surgical procedures. 

Outpatient Rehabilitation Services

Outpatient rehabilitation services include Physical Therapy, Occupational and Hand Therapy, Psychology, Speech Pathology, Audiology and Nursing.

Laminectomy

Surgical removal of the bony arches on one or more vertebrae in the spine.

Aquatic Therapy

Aquatic therapy or pool therapy consists of an exercise program that is performed in the water. It is a beneficial form of therapy that is useful for a variety of medical conditions. Aquatic therapy uses the physical properties of water to assist in patient healing and exercise performance.

Swallowing Evaluation and Treatment

Examination and treatment of the oral structures to determine movement and strength patterns of the muscles utilized for eating and swallowing.

Splinting

A splint is a medical device for the immobilization of limbs or of the spine.

Speech Therapy (Speech Pathology)

The treatment of speech and communication disorders.

Fluidotherapy (Fluidized Therapy)

Fluidized therapy (Fluidotherapy®) is a high intensity heat therapy treatment consisting of a dry whirlpool of Cellux (ground up corn cobs that are about the size of grains of sand), suspended in a heated air stream, the mixture having the properties of a liquid.

Cognitive Retraining

Cognitive retraining is a therapeutic strategy that seeks to improve or restore a person's skills in the areas of paying attention, remembering, organizing, reasoning and understanding, problem-solving, decision making, and higher level cognitive abilities. Cognitive retraining is one aspect of cognitive rehabilitation, a comprehensive approach to restoring such skills after brain injury or other disability.

Clinical Feeding Evaluations

A clinical feeding evaluation involves observing a patient while feeding or eating a meal to assess current feeding skill level and any areas of difficulty.

Therapeutic Exercise

Instructing a patient in body mechanics, exercise to increase strength or range of motion, and general conditioning and flexibility.

Stroke Rehabilitation

The stroke rehabilitation program helps stroke survivors return to their lives, employment and families by providing a continuum of services, from comprehensive therapy to preparation for home or work re-entry.

Physical Therapy

Physical therapy involves the evaluation and treatment of problems associated with mobility, balance, coordination and musculoskeletal pain.

Pain Management and Treatment

Pain management and treatment options address the whole person, not just the site of the pain. Options may include: occupational therapy, physical therapy, pain psychology, biofeedback, integrated mind-body pain program, medication management, social work, patient-controlled analgesia, epidural injections, procedural treatments, and/or implantable technologies.

 

Occupational and Hand Therapy

Occupational and hand therapy assists patients with independent performance of daily living activities such as cooking, dressing, bathing, as well as exercises to strengthen hands and arms.

Exercise Therapy

Individual consultations with an exercise physiologist. Patients will be assisted with developing or enhancing a safe, effective exercise program.
