Sometimes an illness or injury can
leave an individual unable to function as they once
did. Perhaps a stroke has impaired your speech,
or an automobile accident has prevented you from
using one of your arms and it's just not as strong
as the other arm. Our comprehensive rehabilitation
services can help you return to the level of functioning
ability that you enjoyed before your illness or
injury.
Our rehabilitation services are available to individuals
of all ages, whether inpatient or outpatient.
Rehabilitation
services include:
Physical Therapy.
When you have been disabled by an injury or illness,
our physical therapists can use a variety of techniques
to assist in your recovery. These include hydrotherapy,
electrotherapy, therapeutic exercise, wound care
and pain management techniques. |
