Craig General Hospital inpatients and home health patients also have access to therapy services.

Physical Therapy
Physical therapists provide medical support to each patient's physician by evaluating, treating, and preventing a wide variety of movement and function problems which often accompany illnesses or injuries. These hands-on specialists work with patients on an inpatient and outpatient basis, helping them increase movement potential, decrease pain and achieve therapy goals for optimal health.

Our physical therapists and therapy assistants emphasize restoring function and developing skills that will make patients more mobile and safe in their living environment. Some of the more common problems treated are those associated with stroke, head injury, joint replacement, fractures, or back and neck problems.

Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapists and their assistants work with individuals whose lives have been disrupted by illness, injury, normal aging and developmental disability. Occupational therapy programs are designed to increase a patient's independence, working to restore health, confidence and self-sufficiency.

Some of the more common problems treated are those associated with stroke, head injury, neurological disorders and related disorders that result in a decline in the ability to carry out self-care activities.

Speech-Language Pathology
Speech-language pathologists are specially trained and experienced in the evaluation and treatment of disorders of speech, language, cognition and swallowing. Therapy programs are designed to improve the patient's ability to communicate with family members and caregivers.

Stroke, head or neck surgery, head injury, certain cancers and neurological disorders are among the most common problems that benefit from speech-language therapies.
