                      Orthopedic Rehabilitation


                      Rehab nurses and physicians will work with the patient on an individualized plan to manage swelling, pain and changes in sensation. Physical and occupational therapy will work with the interdisciplinary team to shape the residual limb and maximize the patient's independence with self care and mobility. The staff will also focus on education to help patients prepare for a safe transition home.

                      The rehabilitation department offers care related to management of patients with arthritis, including rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. The physicians are adept at managing medications and making adjustments to maximize rehab potential. Physical and occupational therapists will teach the patient to compensate for their limitations to promote independence and reduce pain during daily activities. The team will work with the patient and caregivers to ensure their home is set up for success and safety after discharge.

                      Our team specializes in providing care for patients with fractures, both those who have had surgery and those who have not. We also have experience managing patients after total and partial joint replacements for the upper and lower body. Our rehab nurses are trained to help with pain management post surgery to ensure patients can benefit and participate in therapy. The physical and occupational therapists will help patients progress to walking, dressing and completing home care tasks independently.

                      The interdisciplinary team of providers will work with the patient and their support system to maximize independence with daily activities and provide caregiver training to ensure the patient has the assistance they need to return home. Social workers and case managers will work to identify and obtain equipment as well as community resources to support a successful transition home. Physical and occupational therapists will work to improve strengthening, balance and endurance to maximize functional recovery.
