Our Rehabilitation Services Department offers many different services for a diverse group of patients. We have specialty services developed especially for seniors, women's health, athletes, and pediatrics.

Services

Physical Therapy

Our Physical Therapists treat orthopedic, medical, surgical, neurological, and physical therapyemergency cases on an inpatient, outpatient, home health, and hospice care basis.

Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy is a rehabilitative therapy that promotes independence for return to work, completion of activities of daily living and participation in leisure activities after an injury or illness. Occupational therapists use goal-directed everyday activities to assist people to achieve independence when function is impaired by normal aging, illness, injury or developmental delay. Occupational therapy services offered at Pella Regional Health Center include:

  • Home Health Services - Home Health Occupational Therapy assists with functional activities of daily living, home safety evaluations, and other conditions limiting independence in the individual's own environment.

  • Custom Splinting - Our Occupational Therapy staff is highly skilled in fabrication of thermoplastic splinting. Individualized splinting can be provided for various injuries such as athletic injuries, fractures, tendon lacerations, or repetitive motion injuries. We also provide the most current line of prefabricated "off the shelf" splints.

  • Out Patient Services - Services are provided for children and adults with injuries to the hands and elbows. Services are also provided for those who have suffered an injury or illness that has reduced the ability to perform activities of daily living.

  • Industry Rehab and On-Site Therapy - Our staff provides worksite evaluations, pre-work screens, injury management, rehabilitation, educational programs, ergonomics, job description development, BTE(Baltimore Therapeutic Equipment), lifting, functional capacity evaluations and work hardening/work conditioning.

    Elder Care - We offer a full line of wheel chair positioning evaluations, daily living activities and help train in the use of adaptive equipment. We also offer functional screening for needs and independent skills such as meals, grooming, dressing and driving.

  • Drive Screening (ADReS)- The Assessment of Driving-Related Skills (ADReS) evaluates the vision, cognition, and motor functions to help identify specific concerns that may either result in further testing by a Licensed Driving Instructor or removal of the patient's license.

Cardiac Rehab

The Cardiac Services Department exists to help prevent, detect and treat heart disease through screening, rehabilitation, and education. Our healthcare professionals will provide you with exercise and educational classes to guide you to a healthier life.

Phototherapy

Our Physical Therapy Department offers a convenient option for the treatment of psoriasis and other skin conditions. Our state-of-the-art phototherapy system provides UVB,UBA, and combination treatments. Specially trained therapists administer treatments and monitor treatment response.

Massage Therapy

We have a Licensed Massage Therapist and a Certified Reflexologist to assist patients when they take advantage of the many benefits massage t herapy can offer. Because massage therapy has an amazing effect on the body's nervous system, this technique offers an enjoyable option that has proven to have significant positive effects on the body's negative response to stress, relaxing muscle tension and allowing the heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation to return to normal.

Speech Therapy

The Speech Therapy program at Pella Regional has two Speech Language Pathologists certified by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) who assist in assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of speech, language, voice, swallowing fluency and cognitive-communication disorders. Individual treatment plans are developed that focus on functional communication and swallowing skills. These programs are geared toward both pediatrics as well as adults.

Our sports medicine team is comprised of Physical Therapists, Certified Athletic Trainers, and Certified Strength Conditioning Specialists. This team provides outreach coverage of both practices and events to area schools and focuses on the prevention, tratement, rehabilitation, and referral os sports-related injuries. A free injury evaluation clinic for both school and recreational athletes is available. Other specialized services include body fat testing, KT 1000 ACL/PCL testing, and annual coaching clinics.

Women's Rehab Services women's health

Pella Regional offers many women's health services, such as

  • Fitting for Breast Prosthesis - At Pella Regional, we've created a unique place for women who are in need of breast forms and bras for women who have had a mastectomy, lumpectomy, or just have natural balancing needs. A Certified Mastectomy Fitter will measure and evaluage the best prosthesis and brassiere based on your needs and preferences.

  • Lymphedema Treatments - Lymphedema occurs after lymph nodes have been removed or damaged in the arm, leg, or upper trunk, and it can cause swelling, stiffness, increased sensory problems, and decreased motion of the arm or leg. Lymphedema Treatment includes manual therapy, exercise programs, and compression garments.

  • Massage Therapy - Massage Therapy can help you relax, ease chronic headaches, stress, fibromyalgia, arthritis, and back pain.
  • Incontinence Training - Incontinence can be caused by a wekening of the pelvic floor muscles. Physical therapists can instruct and design exercise programs for the pelvic floor muscles and educate you on equipment specifically designed for incontinence.

  • Pelvic Pain Treatment - Daily pelvic pain can affect every aspect of a woman's life. There are various causes of pelvic pain syndrome, some of which can be treated conservatively through physical therapy.

  • Pregnancy Pain Treatment - Rather than treating pregnancy pain with medications, which can be risky for the fetus, our therapists can offer non-invasive treatments. Massage treatments and exercise programs are designed specifically for you.
  • Fibromyalgia Treatments - Specialists at Pella Regional can assist you in making lifestyle changes to decrease the intensity of flare-ups and instruct you on exercise programs, relaxation methods, and pain control techniques.

  • Osteoporosis Treatment - Although there is currently no cure for osteoporosis, you can slow down the rate of bone loss by eating foods rich in calcium and participating in a regular exercise program. Pella Regional offers education and instruction to women who are at risk or already have osteoporosis.

Pediatric Rehab

Our T.O.P.S. Treehouse is designed to be a fun and comfortable place to work on the needs of children, whether it be occupational, physical, or speech therapy. Since the work of children is play, it is through the use of this media that occupational therapists assist children in learning the skills necessary for living. Therapy can enhance the potential of a child throughout their developmental years and build skills, self-confidence, and self-esteem that lasts a lifetime. Developmental delays, coordination difficulties, perceptual difficulties, decreased motor skills, and issues with decreased attention, focus, and internal organization are some of the concerns addressed by the Pediatric Rehabilitation Services at Pella Regional. We've even created a special place for kids to receive rehab services--our T.O.P.S. Treehouse.
