Services
Physical Therapy
Our physical therapy program specializes in orthopedic and hand rehabilitation. We treat conditions like arthritis, joint replacements, and sports injuries through customized exercise programs, manual therapy, and advanced techniques like dry needling. Patients receive one-on-one care focused on restoring mobility, reducing pain, and improving functional capacity for daily activities and work-related tasks.
Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy services help patients regain independence in daily activities. We address upper extremity injuries, neurological impairments, and work-related conditions through specialized interventions. Our approach combines ergonomic assessments, adaptive equipment training, and task-specific exercises to improve patients' ability to perform self-care, work, and leisure activities effectively.
Speech Therapy
Our speech-language pathology services address communication disorders and swallowing difficulties. Specialized programs target aphasia, voice disorders, and dysphagia following neurological events. We employ evidence-based techniques like LSVT LOUD therapy for Parkinson's patients, focusing on improving speech clarity, cognitive-communication skills, and safe swallowing function through targeted exercises and family education.
Dry Needling
Certified dry needling therapy provides targeted pain relief for musculoskeletal conditions. This technique involves inserting fine needles into trigger points to release muscle tension, improve blood flow, and promote healing. Our clinicians use this evidence-based approach to treat chronic pain, sports injuries, and postural imbalances as part of comprehensive rehabilitation programs.
Functional Capacity Evaluations
We conduct comprehensive functional capacity evaluations to assess work readiness and physical capabilities. These standardized assessments measure strength, endurance, and job-specific skills to determine appropriate work placements, identify accommodation needs, and guide return-to-work planning. Our certified evaluators provide objective documentation for workers' compensation and occupational health purposes.
