Therapeutic Options for You and Your Loved Ones
There are a variety of ways our therapists address injuries, chronic conditions, and illnesses. We assist patients using the following treatment methods and more:
Occupational therapy helps individuals of all ages who may have physical, sensory, or cognitive problems live independent and productive lives. It involves the therapeutic use of everyday activities (occupations) to enhance one's ability to participate in daily life. Occupational therapists work with patients to improve life skills, such as eating, dressing, school activities, work, or even socializing. This can be particularly beneficial for those who have sustained a stroke, those living with arthritis, or children with developmental disorders. The goal of occupational therapy is to empower individuals to fully engage in their daily lives, regardless of any physical or cognitive limitations they may have.
Physical therapy focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases and disabilities through physical means. It involves the use of targeted techniques, such as therapeutic exercises, manual therapy, hot/cold therapy, electrical stimulation, and more, in order to help patients improve their movement and function. Physical therapists work with patients of all ages, from infants to the elderly, who may be dealing with various health conditions, injuries, chronic illnesses, or procedural recoveries. The ultimate goal of physical therapy is to alleviate pain, enhance mobility, restore function, and improve quality of life.
Speech therapy focuses on diagnosing, evaluating, and treating communication disorders, speech difficulties, and swallowing disorders. Speech therapists, also known as speech-language pathologists, work with individuals of all ages who may struggle with various issues ranging from articulation, fluency, voice, resonance, and/or oral feeding problems. They employ a variety of techniques and tools to assist in improving a patient’s abilities to understand and express language, including both verbal and non-verbal communication. This therapy can be beneficial for individuals living with a variety of conditions, including stuttering, autism, Down syndrome, hearing impairments, or those recovering from a stroke or traumatic brain injury.
