Neurological Therapy

Neurological therapy is a comprehensive multi-disciplinary service focused on working with individuals who have a neurological disorder or disease such as Parkinson’s, ALS, Brain Injury, Multiple Sclerosis, Spinal Cord Injury or Stroke. At Crestwood Therapy Services, our licensed Physical, Occupational and Speech Therapy professionals play a major part in recovery after a neurological illness or injury. We treat neurological disorders including paralysis, vision impairment, poor balance, inability to walk, cognitive impairment, language problems, swallowing problems, decreased strength and loss of functional independence.

Our Therapy Services, including Physical, Occupational and Speech, are conveniently located under one roof. We also do home, work or school visits to access your patient’s personal needs.

In neurological therapy, an individual treatment plan is established for each patient after an in-depth evaluation of the patient’s needs and goals. To maximize progress, patients receive individual treatment in a quiet setting. We work in conjunction with the family caregiver to achieve the highest functional outcome.

Neurological Therapy services offered at Crestwood include:

• Assistive Technology Practitioner
• Comprehensive speech, language and swallowing evaluations and treatment
• Hand Therapy
• Interactive Metronome Therapy
• Low Vision Stroke & Head Injury
• Modified Barium Swallow studies with videotape (performed with a radiologist)

Physical Therapy

At Crestwood Medical Center, physical therapy is an integral part of our comprehensive treatment program for patients who are physically restricted due to an illness, handicap or accident. Physical therapy can relieve pain, increase range of motion, improve strength and restore function after an injury, surgery, stroke or peripheral nerve damage.

Our goal is to help patients return to a more normal, active lifestyle as quickly as possible. After a thorough evaluation, our licensed therapists work closely with you, your physician and family members to establish an individualized treatment program complete with goals and objectives.

Our inpatient therapy is offered seven days a week to aid patients in a quick recovery. A thorough evaluation is performed with treatment plans and goals established with the patient’s needs as the top priority. We work closely with physicians and nurses who play a vital role in the patient’s care plan. Most therapy is performed bedside but access to whirlpools and gym equipment is just a short trip away. We encourage family participation and include caregivers in our education before discharge home.
