Aquatic Therapy – Aquatic therapy takes advantage of the physical properties of water to assist with the rehabilitative process. Buoyancy, turbulence, hydrostatic pressure, and thermal properties of water can assist with the rehabilitation of a patient. Those suffering from chronic pain, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, lumbar fusion surgery, or with a limited weight-bearing status are just a few of the many different patient populations that can benefit from aquatic therapy.

Balance, Dizziness, and Vertigo Rehabilitation – Many suffer from dizziness or vertigo- often referred to as BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo). Our clinics specialize in the rehabilitation of patients with vertigo. Patient education, strengthening, safety awareness, posture and balance exercise, and special techniques that affect sensory and balance centers of the brain and limbs are all important components of a rehabilitation program.

Concussion Rehabilitation – Concord Hospital has a comprehensive Concussion Assessment and Management Program (CAMP) to address all aspects of concussion related issues from prevention and education to post concussion treatment. Physical and occupational therapists are involved in community outreach, baseline testing and post concussion evaluation and treatment. Our comprehensive evaluations include an assessment of neurocognitive deficits (via the ImPACT® Test), as well as assessments of balance, vestibular function, associated musculoskeletal injuries (neck, face, shoulder, spine) and cognitive function. After testing is completed, the athlete or individual will complete a rehabilitation program which includes a progression through evidence based protocols for post-concussion exercise programs and cognitive training. We work collaboratively with your medical provider to guide you through a safe return to activities, sports and/or work.

Hand Therapy – Hand therapy is the specialized treatment of an upper extremity injury designed to restore range of motion, strength and overall function. It is a subspecialty of occupational and physical therapy. Hand therapists are part of the occupational therapy department and treat a variety of orthopaedic, cumulative trauma and hand trauma injuries. At Concord Hospital, specialized hand therapists with advanced training in the treatment of complex hand injuries have extensive knowledge in hand anatomy and function. Additonally, they are well trained to treat hand, wrist and elbow conditions. All of our occupational therapists have taken additional courses and training in hand therapy. Hand therapy may consist of manual treatment, exercise, education and may include splint fabrication if needed.

Industrial Rehabilitation – Specialists in industrial rehabilitation help with those that have suffered on-the-job injuries. Moreover, they will evaluate work tasks, fabricate assistive devices, evaluate and help redesign work flow/tasks to decrease the incidence of injury. Often, industrial rehabilitation specialists will evaluate your ability to perform certain job tasks with an exam called a Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE).

Lymphedema Rehabilitation – We take it for granted but a special component of the circulatory system, the lymph system, helps filter and drain fluid from our arms and legs. When this drainage system is damaged, painful swelling can result. We have therapists who specialize or are certified in the treatment of lymphedema. Special massage and bandaging techniques and education are utilized by the lymphedema specialist.

Following evaluation, our specially trained therapist will design a comprehensive program aimed at helping you achieve your highest level of function and health.
