Rehabilitation Services Descriptions

Our goal is to bring individuals to their highest level of practical functioning through efficient delivery of evidenced based interdisciplinary rehabilitation practice. We offer our patients a variety of rehabilitation services, including:

Audiology

Audiologists are health-care professionals who evaluate, diagnose, treat, and manage hearing loss, tinnitus, and balance disorders in newborn, children, and adults.

Physical Therapy

Physical therapists (PT) promote the ability to move, reduce pain, restore function, and prevent disability. In addition, PTs work with individuals to prevent the loss of mobility before it occurs by developing fitness- and wellness-oriented programs for healthier and more active lifestyles.

Occupational Therapy

An occupational therapist evaluates and focuses on a patient centered approach to provide services that enhance quality of life and promote functional independence for activities of daily living (ADLs). ADLs include feeding, dressing, hygiene/grooming, toileting, showering in conjunction with exercise, splinting and other therapeutic activities.

Speech Therapy

Speech-language pathologists diagnose and evaluate speech, language, and swallowing disorders. Patients are helped to recover their ability to communicate thoughts and feelings following a stroke, head injury or disease. Therapists work with patients to improve speech, language, voice quality, cognition (thought process) and swallowing.
