Being sidelined due to pain, injury or surgery can
definitely put a crimp in your lifestyle. The Rehabilitation Services
department at Memorial
Hospital can help
restore, maintain or improve your physical ability, so you can get back to your
normal routine.
Once your doctor refers you to our rehabilitation department, our specialized
team (which may include a physiatrist, physical therapist, occupational
therapist, speech therapist or audiologist) will evaluate and treat your
condition.
Our professional staff and services are used to treat everything from
arthritis, fractures, strains and sprains, to serious medical conditions like
brain or spinal cord injuries, cancer, stroke, speech and language disorders
and more. Our job is to make the most dramatic difference we can to improve
your quality of life.
Speech and Hearing
Therapy
Memorial Hospital's speech therapists provide evaluation and
treatment of patients with speech disorders caused by stroke, progressive
neurologic disorders, head injury, delays in speech and language development in
children, and developmental disorders including
- Aphasia
- Apraxia of speech
- Articulation problems
- Dysanthria
- Stuttering
- Memory/cognitive
communication disorder
Speech pathologists provide each patient with a thorough
one-on-one evaluation and an individualized diagnostic and treatment plan is developed.
The patient's physician then receives a report complete with recommendations
for a treatment plan.
Patients with voice disorders caused by abusing the voice, progressive
neurologic disorders, psychogenic voice disorders, reflux laryngitis, head and
neck cancer, viral infections, intubation and spontaneous vocal conditions from
unknown causes are welcomed.
We also provide evaluation and treatment of patients with swallowing disorders
caused by stroke, progressive neurologic disorders, dementia, head and neck
cancer and laryngectomy. These disorders may include:
- Aspiration of solids or
liquids
- Choking
- Dehydration
- Malnutrition
- Globus sensation (feeling of
a lump in the throat)
Our Audiology (hearing) Department is staffed by a Doctor of Audiology
and provides hearing testing on children (ages 4 and up) and adults. We
offer only quality, digital hearing aids in all styles and several
price ranges. Financing is available for the hearing aids. Vestibular
testing for the evaluation and treatment of dizziness is also available
in our Audiology Department. We use specialized equipment to determine
whether your dizziness is from the inner ear, and we have excellent
results in the treatment of this dizziness. Our audiologist understands
the impact that hearing loss and dizziness can have on your life and
will work closely with your referring physician to improve your hearing
and/or balance problems.
