Rehabilitation
After injury or illness, rehabilitation therapy can help patients get back to work, play and their lives. Alta Vista Regional Hospital’s team can develop programs designed to improve movement, balance, endurance and strength for patients.
Some of the most common reasons you might need to see a physical or occupational therapist include:
- Degenerative joint disease and rheumatic diseases which cause severe joint pain and disability
- Back or neck pain
- CVA (stroke) or TIA which has affected your coordination and your ability to move
- Following surgery to help you get up and moving again
- Severe flare-ups of neurological diseases such as MS and Parkinson’s
- After an injury
- Vertigo and balance problems
Rehabilitation services are aimed at getting you back to your life as quickly as possible.
