Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation

Looking for a provider of personalized physical therapy in Flushing, NY? The Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation offers a multidisciplinary team approach to the medical care of conditions and injuries that affect the brain, nerves, bones, joints, muscles, and ligaments and the disabilities and/or aches and pains that these problems produce, including those from occupational or sports injuries and accidents.

 

The department diagnoses and treats acute and chronic pain syndromes and offers sophisticated and personalized physical therapy for both inpatients and those living in the community.

What to Expect from the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation

Following an assessment by a physician and a therapist, a personalized physical therapy program is developed to achieve maximum results and ultimate recovery. This is achieved through the team efforts of the department. A patient’s program may involve the use of therapeutic exercise, heat, ultrasound, electrical stimulation, hydrotherapy, and patient education. Various treatment modalities are available to alleviate pain symptoms and complement the treatment program developed. Prosthetic and orthotic services are also provided when necessary.

 

Speech therapy and swallowing assessments are also performed as needed and audiology services and hearing assessments are conducted for all age groups from newborn to the elderly. In addition, we offer advanced sports physical therapy for those who have been injured and are eager to return to their favorite sports/occupations or simply would like to enhance their quality of life.
