Rehabilitative Therapy Specialties

Occupational Therapy (OT): treatment plans address conditions such as hand, elbow, and shoulder dysfunction; disabilities resulting from stroke, acute trauma, fractures, inflammation, dislocations, or chronic repetitive injuries; coordination problems; and weakness. Treatment seeks to mitigate how these conditions may negatively impact activities of daily living.

Physical Therapy (PT): treatment plans address orthopedic conditions such as joint replacement, fractures, osteoarthritis, low back pain, TMJ, and chronic repetitive injuries. PT can also address neurological disorders and developmental delays.

Speech Therapy: treatment plans address communication, thinking (cognitive), or swallowing abilities, often caused by stroke, MS, Parkinson’s Disease, or other neurological disorders.
