Serve
patients across the lifespan including pediatrics, adolescents, adults,
and geriatrics with orthopedic, neurological and cardiopulmonary
conditions, connective tissue disorders and sports injuries.
Physical
Therapists provide evaluation and treatment for people with orthopedic
conditions such as arthritis, joint replacement, low back pain, and
osteoporosis; joint and soft tissue injuries such as fractures and
dislocations; neurologic conditions such as stroke, traumatic brain
injury, Parkinson's disease or multiple sclerosis; connective tissue
injuries, sports injuries, cardiopulmonary and circulatory conditions
such as congestive heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease and workplace injuries including repetitive stress
disorders. When a patient sees a physical therapist for the first
time, they will receive a comprehensive evaluation, upon which, a plan
of care will be developed based on problem areas identified.
Treatment focuses on maximizing mobility, reduction of pain, restoring
function and preventing disability. A physician's order is
required for physical therapy. Physical therapy services are
provided by APTA certified and PA licensed physical therapists (PT) and
physical therapy assistants (PTA), who work under the supervision of a
physical therapist.
Outpatient
physical therapy services are available at the CCMH Rehab Center, Port
Allegany, Smethport, Emporium and Shinglehouse.
