Welcome to our Rehab Room.
Rehabilitative services are normally
ordered by a doctor to help a patient recover from an illness or injury. These
services are given by nurses and physical, occupational, and speech therapists.
Physical therapy helps the patient restore the use of muscles, bones, and the
nervous system through the use of heat, cold, massage, whirlpool baths,
ultrasound, exercise, and other techniques. It seeks to relieve pain, improve strength
and mobility, and train the
patient to perform important everyday tasks.
Occupational therapy helps the patient
regain the ability to do normal everyday tasks. This may be achieved by
restoring old skills or teaching the patient new skills to adjust to
disabilities through adaptive equipment,
and modification of the
patient's home environment.
Speech therapy helps the patient correct speech disorders or restores speech. Speech therapy may be prescribed
to rehabilitate a patient after a brain injury, cancer, muscular diseases,
stroke, and other injuries/illnesses. The duration of the speech therapy
program varies depending on the injury/illness being treated and the patient's
response to therapy.
