Occupational Therapy
Surgical and nonsurgical orthopedic patients often need comprehensive occupational therapy to regain function and ensure quality of life. Our physicians and Occupational Therapists (OTs) assess all aspects of your life that may affect your ability to function independently and perform self-care, household work and other activities. Our goal is to help you achieve your maximum potential and resume the tasks of daily living and working. Treatment may include:
- Custom-designed static and dynamic splints for protection and enhanced function
- Thermal and electrical modalities to improve soft tissue response
- Joint mobilization and exercise to improve range of motion
- Joint protection and ergonomic strategies to prevent further injury
- Physical exercise and strengthening to improve overall function.
During the course of treatment, your OT will document your progress, conduct periodic examinations and modify treatments when necessary. Your OT is in constant communication with your physician to identify areas requiring more or less attention.
