THE HUGHSTON CLINIC APPROACH

Hughston Clinic Orthopaedics’ therapists are experts that can treat the entire body. Orthopedic rehabilitation includes occupational and physical therapy to treat conditions that affect the skeletal system. We maintain state-of-the-art staff equipment and facilities to aid in your recovery and rehabilitation. It consists of four specialty departments: Orthopedics/Sports Medicine, Spine, Upper Extremity/Hands and Industrial Medicine.

Orthopedic rehabilitation includes occupational and physical therapy to treat conditions that affect the skeletal system. An individualized course of therapy is laid out, which we then administer one-to-one between therapists and patients.

Additionally, the length of therapy needed depends greatly on the severity of your condition. Multiple sessions are recommended so you can become familiar with the exercises you’ll need to do regularly to reach (and to stay) in optimum condition.

When you consider rehab for an orthopedic injury?

Injuries such as neck and back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, knee and ankle sprains, and hip pains are treatable with orthopedic rehabilitation. Rehabilitation is often a need after surgery to aid in the healing process for patients who have procedures such as a spinal fusion, total hip or knee replacement, or ankle reconstructions. Other conditions that may require rehabilitation include complete shoulder replacements, laminectomies, rotator cuff repairs, and meniscectomies.
