Orthopedic and Sports Medicine

Orthopedics and Sports Medicine

Total joint replacements, sports injuries, arthritis and everyday injuries can make it difficult to move, perform daily tasks, drive and care for yourself. Orthopedic therapy treats muscle, bone and joint problems so you can regain your strength, flexibility, range of motion, mobility and balance.

Your treatment plan may include physical therapy, occupational therapy, and/or aquatic therapy in one of our onsite warm water or cool water therapy pools. 

Program Features

• One-on-one patient care
• Flexible appointment scheduling
• Private treatment rooms

After you've completed your formal physical or occupational therapy, you're welcome to participate in our Transition Program, which helps your recovery as you continue exercising with a personal trainer in the hospital's Fitness Center (for a small fee).
