OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY

Krista1.jpgWith over 20 years of experience, PMC's Occupational Therapy Department treats patients in Long term Care, Acute Care, Home Health and the Out-patient setting.  Treatment plans are customized to the individual and their specific diagnoses.

The goal of Occupational Therapy is to achieve independence and improve arm/hand strength and function while limiting the degree of interruption to one's life when affected by disability, injury or chronic conditions. 

Our department background is strong in hand injury treatment and ergonomic (work-related) issues as well.  Splinting is one of our most impressive treatments.  Most of our splints are custom-fabricated and specific to hand and wrist injuries.  We are quite versatile and have a strong reputation with our local and regional physicians.

The variety of diagnoses that benefit from Occupational Therapy are widespread. 
Examples include:
ADLs (activities of daily living) including dressing
Adaptive equipment following a stroke or fracture
Work related injuries including repetitive motion injuries like carpal tunnel
Arthritis joint protection
Work simplification
Fibromyalgia
Sports injuries
Head/spinal cord injuries.

If you have questions about the Occupational Therapy department, please contact us at (406) 271-3211 ext. 249.
