Rehabilitation & Therapy
Whether you've suffered an injury at work or on the field, are recovering from orthopedic surgery or just want to better manage your pain, Sharon Regional can help.
We offer medically supervised rehabilitation programs for patients of all ages, providing coordinated care through inpatient, outpatient and ongoing therapy as needed. Working closely with you and your primary physician, we'll design a tailor-made plan to help treat your pain, restore function and get you back to your active life. Our approach focuses on your overall wellbeing - physical and emotional - with a special focus on education to help you prevent future problems.
Personalized Programs to Get Moving Like You Used To
Orthopedic rehabilitation specialties at Sharon include:
- Physical Therapy: Our therapists provide detailed evaluations and dynamic strength-and-conditioning exercises for arthritis, orthopedic trauma, osteoporosis and other bone and joint injuries. The team also includes a spine therapist with national certification in the McKenzie Method, a technique that helps centralize back pain to provide targeted relief. And we're the only rehabilitation program in Shenango and Mahoning Valley to feature the Biodex - a specialized isokinetic strength testing machine to help you safely return to work, sports and everyday life.
- Occupational Therapy: Therapists help you regain the ability to perform daily tasks and improve quality of life following an illness or injury. They simulate functional indoor and outdoor activities such as bathing, grooming, meal planning and housekeeping, as well as transferring in and out of a car. We also have a certified hand therapist to treat repetitive stress injuries like carpal tunnel and other upper extremity issues. Throughout your program, your therapist will provide progress assessments and make any adjustments to maximize your success.
- Post-Operative Therapy: If you're hospitalized following joint replacement surgery, you'll work with a physical and occupational therapist on our dedicated orthopedic floor and on-site clinic. Though everyone's different, we'll help get you up and moving the same day as surgery. During your stay, you'll continue your one-on-one sessions and join your floormates for group therapy, where you'll build camaraderie and just may marvel at how far you've come in such a short time.
We also offer specialized programs to meet your unique recovery needs:
- Aquatic Therapy: At the Rehab Center in Hermitage, we offer this effective therapeutic option for those suffering from arthritis, chronic pain, fractures, athletic injuries or other acute or chronic conditions. Aquatic therapy offers a number of benefits, including improved circulation and control of swelling. The water's warmth and buoyancy makes exercising easier and safer to perform, while creating a natural resistance to movement and challenging balance.
- Kinesio Taping: Sharon Regional's physical and occupational rehabilitation team includes certified Kinesio taping therapists, available on an inpatient and outpatient basis. This Japanese-derived technique uses 100% elastic, latex-free fibers that help facilitate the body's natural healing process, while providing support and stability to muscles and joints without restricting range of motion. Additionally, Kinesio taping provides extended soft tissue manipulation to prolong the benefits of manual therapy you may receive.
- Pain Management: Sharon Regional's dedicated Interventional Pain Management Center combines modern techniques with a specialized team offering more than 50 years' experience treating acute and chronic pain. Find relief from back or joint conditions with a personalized plan that may include steroid or trigger point injections, nerve blocks, implantable devices and more.
- Pediatric Rehabilitation: Our comprehensive Pediatric Rehab program includes occupational therapists specially trained to treat orthopedic conditions and injuries affecting children, from infancy through adolescence. We specialize in juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, offering a variety of techniques to relieve stiff and painful joints.
- Sports Medicine: Kickstart your comeback from an athletic injury with Sharon Regional's sports medicine rehabilitation specialists. Our team of specially trained therapists will design a customized treatment plan to help restore motion and strength, alleviate pain and return you to pre-injury form.
