Rehabilitation Services Physical Therapy - Santa Fe Campus
Inpatient physical therapy is provided on the Santa Fe Campus. Here
therapists treat patients to control pain, increase strength, restore motion
and regain function after an injury or illness. Arthritis, neck and
back pain, shoulder dysfunctions, stroke and head injury are common
diagnoses seen by these therapists. They also treat patients with
diabetic ulcers and other wounds. Lower back problems are also
commonly treated. Therapists have been trained in a variety of muscle
and joint treatment techniques and can utilize different approaches
depending upon a patient's condition.
Additionally, we have special testing equipment to assess balance and can
set up treatment programs to improve balance and decrease the risk of
falling. Therapy services for Salina Regional's Home Health patients are
coordinated at the Penn campus, as well as contract services. Every
ten weeks, Marc Asher, MD, and Brad Olney, MD, pediatric orthopedic surgeons
from the University of Kansas Medical Center, hold a clinic for children
with orthopedic problems. For more information call 785-452-6364. |
