OUR TREATMENTS AND SERVICES

ZK Outpatient Rehabilitation Center is a modern, multispecialty physical and occupational rehabilitation facility. We offer a wide range of therapeutic treatments to help patients recover from injuries, pain, or a life-changing physical condition.

We offer customized treatment plans for the following conditions:

Our physical therapist will work with you as you heal following an amputation. We then guide your rehabilitation to ensure that you reach your goals and regain your strength and movement in the safest way possible. Your treatment plan may include:

• Exercises that promote muscle strength, endurance, and flexibility

• Help to fit and use of your prostheses

• Pain management for both post-operative and phantom pain ( A sensation of pain that occurs below the level of amputation)

• Support with the use of assistive devices

When a joint is showing arthritic changes or degeneration, that loss of function will not reverse. However, research has shown that physical therapy can make changes in the pain you experience, from arthritis. We focus on the following for our arthritic patients:

• Pain management, hot/cold therapy to ease joint stiffness

• Therapeutic exercises to maintain or increase range of motion of joints

• Increasing mobility, strength to support joints and maintain overall fitness

Balance disorders make it difficult for individuals to establish or maintain an upright or stable position, whether they are walking, sitting, or standing. Balance disorders are caused by issues ranging from:

• Muscle weakness

• Joint stiffness

• Inner ear problems (vestibular disorders)

• Certain medications

• Sedentary lifestyle

• Aging processes
  

  Regardless of what the root cause of your balance issue is, physical therapy can help. We develop balance training and exercise programs customized for each patient and the cause of the balance disorder.

Our integrated approach to care ensures that we work with you, your family, and other health care providers. We will create a treatment plan and develop goals to address the challenges and functional limitations associated with your brain injury. Depending on the severity of the damage, and the problems that you may have the treatment plan will vary. Physical therapy for a brain injury can improve physical function & mobility to enhance the skills needed to perform daily activities. Treatment plans may include:

• Spasticity and balance training

• Pain management plan

• Bodyweight supported mobility training

• Muscle-strengthening exercise

Cardiac rehab is designed to improve your cardiovascular health if you have experienced a heart attack, heart failure, angioplasty, or heart surgery. Our Rehab/PT focuses on Phase II-IV( once you are is discharged from the hospital) which consists of:

• Proper exercise testing and procedures

• Functional mobility while monitoring heart rate and exertion levels

• Flexibility, strengthen, and aerobic exercises are implemented in an exercise program (in advanced stages)

Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce enough insulin. Managing diabetes can help to lower the risk of future health issues. Therapeutic exercises are an essential part of managing diabetes to help regulate glucose levels, increase blood circulation, build muscle strength, and avoid heart disease and stroke, as well as joint or muscle pain. Our therapeutic exercise programs for diabetes are individualized according to your medication schedule, and the presence and severity of diabetic complications. Physical therapy will benefit if you have:

• Numbness or tingling in your feet

• Pain or limping with walking

• Assistive walking devices such as a cane or crutches

Postoperative rehabilitation is of the utmost importance following total joint replacement and any surgery, in order to ensure the pain-free function of the joints and muscles and to improve the patient's quality of life. Total joint replacement is a surgical procedure in which parts of an arthritic or damaged joint are removed and replaced with a metal, plastic, or ceramic device called a prosthesis. Such surgery can be performed on any joints of the body, including the hip, knee, ankle, foot, shoulder, elbow, wrist, and fingers. Physical therapy is important to:

• Reduce pain, muscle soreness, and swelling after surgery

• Increase circulation in the body especially to your legs and feet, which is important for preventing blood clots

• Restore mobility in joints

• Assist with regaining muscle strength

• Assist with walking using walking aids (as needed)

LONG-HAUL COVID-19 RECOVERY PHYSICAL THERAPY

Patients that are hospitalized receive limited mobility therapy services. Upon discharge, post-COVID-19 patients continue to require certain skilled services that address decreased endurance and fatigue, pain, muscle wasting, and possible depression. At ZK Outpatient Rehabilitation Center, each patient is evaluated so we can create an individualized treatment plan. Our long-haul COVID recovery program treats:

• Shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, respiratory recovery

• Decreased mobility and ability to walk

• Overall weakness and generalized deconditioning

• Pain, joint stiffness, and other musculoskeletal conditions

• Balance and neurological challenges

• Worsening of comorbidities

• Phased return to activity to safely perform daily activities and more.

Before Starting Physical Therapy

To be treated in our facility, patients must have medical clearance according to CDC guidelines:

• At least 72 hrs. without a fever

Being both overweight and inactive compromises a person's health and longevity. Physical therapy can help patients become more functionally independent, while teaching the importance of understanding body composition, and various health risks. We help overweight and individuals managing obesity to become more active and fit by teaching them how to move in ways that can be pain-free and even enjoyable. We focus on:

• Teaching correct posture

• Teaching right-fit movement patterns

• Promoting regular exercise programs

• Pain management – Foot, knee, joint and muscle pain resulting for excess weight and obesity.

Occupational therapy is an area of rehab focused on improving one's ability to perform daily activities more efficiently. From school and social settings to supporting older adults living with physical and cognitive changes, OT helps them prevent—or live better with—injury, illness, or disability. Occupational therapy aims to provide individuals with the modifications and tools they need to live as independently as possible.

Occupational therapy services typically include:

• An individualized evaluation, during which the client/family and occupational therapist determine the person’s goals,

• Customized intervention to improve the person’s ability to perform daily activities and reach the goals, and,

• An outcomes evaluation to ensure that the goals are being met and if changes to the treatment plan are required.

Physical therapy is a leading alternative to opioids for pain management. Physical therapy involves treatments that focus on the prevention and management of pain, that is the result of an injury or disability.

Physical therapy for pain management can help to:

• Relieve pain and promote healing

• Improve physical function and mobility

• Restore function and movement

• Develop the skills and strategies to perform daily activities

Life after a spinal cord injury can be difficult. Physical therapy and exercise not only contribute to rehabilitation but also a healthy lifestyle. Our therapy treatments for spinal cord injury are divided into four categories:
