Treatments include:

• Physical and occupational therapy for adults and children
• Speech therapy including swallow testing
• Pain-relieving injections
• Electro-diagnostic testing
• Orthotic and prosthetic prescription and fitting

Board-Certified Caring Staff

The Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation staff is led by a physiatrist certified by the American Board of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, who has many years of experience providing a wide range of physical medicine and rehabilitation services.
