We offer the following outpatient rehabilitation programs:
Amputation
The goal of rehabilitation after amputation is to help the patient return to the highest level of function and independence
possible. The multi-disciplinary team will work on fitting and use of artificial limb, skin management/wound care, contracture
prevention, and will work to improve balance, coordination and endurance.
Arthritis
For many people the pain of osteoarthritis can become so severe that it disrupts
normal living. Caring for yourself becomes difficult, and handling family or work
responsibilities may become impossible. HealthSouth's arthritis rehabilitation program
helps an individual reduce and manage their pain while increasing their independence.
Aquatic Therapy
Aquatic therapy is a method of performing therapeutic exercises in water. Because water is 600-800 times more supportive
than air, individuals with weak muscles are able to move more freely in the water than on land. Water is also less
stressful on the joints because it decreases body weight as much as 90 percent – depending on the depth.
Once muscles improve, people can resist the movement of water to increase strength. Aquatic therapy requires no
swimming ability. Both swimmers and non-swimmers can perform water exercises.
Balance and Gait
Almost half the current population will experience dizziness at least once in their lifetime. Some develop permanent
balance deficits with subsequent functional limitations. Balance disorders are significant risks for falls in elderly
individuals. Falls have been estimated to be the leading cause of serious injury and death in persons older than 65 years. Goals of the
program are to improve balance, minimize falls, decrease the subjective sensation of dizziness, develop compensatory strategies for
coping with dizziness, increase independence in daily life, and improve quality of gait.
Brain Injury
Early rehabilitation is critical to help patients achieve their fullest potential
after brain injury. HealthSouth has established a rehabilitation program that helps
patients achieve and maximize functional and cognitive recovery following a brain
injury. The program enables patients to become more self-sufficient and understand
how to avoid future health problems.
Hip Fracture
Rehabilitation following an orthopedic surgery is a very challenging and demanding
experience. The rehabilitation program for hip fracture or other orthopedic surgery
was established to assist our patients in setting and achieving their goals to maximize
functional recovery and independence.
General Rehabilitation
HealthSouth’s General Rehabilitation Program provides comprehensive medical rehabilitation
services for individuals who have experienced a decline in their physical and cognitive
abilities. This decline may be due to an illness or other medical condition. Our
General Rehabilitation Program is designed to help patients maximize functional
independence; maximize emotional well-being; and resume their previous roles or
modified roles at work, home or leisure.
Lymphedema
HealthSouth's Lymphedema Program focuses on alleviating the swelling that occurs
in legs, arms, face, neck, abdomen or chest when the lymphatic system malfunctions.
Our program is based on a patient's needs and goals and results in reduced swelling
and improved quality of life. The program also teaches both the patient and family
to manage the condition and provides follow-up care and referral to additional resources
as necessary.
Musculoskeletal and Postural
Neurorehabilitation
HealthSouth’s Neurological Disorders Program meets the needs of patients with conditions such as Parkinson’s,
Multiple Sclerosis, Guillain Barre, and Polyneuropathy. By following a rehabilitation program designed to
achieve functional gains, patients become more functionally dependent and learn how to reduce the risk of future medical problems.
Orthopedics/Musculoskeletal
Orthopedic rehabilitation treats musculoskeletal injuries and conditions. HealthSouth's
pathway to recovery for patients with orthopedic conditions helps them achieve and
maintain functional gains in a timely, cost-effective manner. The program is individualized
according to a patient's needs, functional goals and extent of injury.
Pain Management
Pain is how nature warns you that something is wrong. For many people, pain can
become so severe that it disrupts normal living. Through our Pain Management Program, patients become more
self-sufficient, decrease or eliminate the need for pain medication, and learn how
to avoid future health problems.
Range of Motion and Strengthening
Spasticity Management
For patients who have suffered stroke, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy or a spinal
cord injury, spasticity can be disabling. But it doesn't have to be. Through HealthSouth's
comprehensive, outcome-focused rehabilitation program, patients can achieve maximum
functional independence.
Spinal Cord Injury
Rehabilitation is a critical part of recovery for many spinal cord injuries. The effects of this injury mean
that you must change, relearn or redefine how you live. The focus of our Spinal Cord Injury program is to
address a patient’s medical needs, provide education and maximize mobility and functional independence.
Stroke
Stroke occurs in America every 45 seconds and it is our nation’s No. 3 killer and leading cause of severe long-term
disability. A stroke can strike anyone at any time, often beginning with weakness, slurred speech, difficulty
swallowing and the inability to perform simple tasks that we usually take for granted. Depending on the severity
of the attack, the stroke survivor can be left in a helpless state without the ability to walk, talk, read or write.
Rehabilitation is a critical part of recovery for many stroke survivors. The goals of our comprehensive stroke program
are to increase independence in many areas, such as self-care skills, mobility, communication, swallowing, cognition, and social skills.
