Rehabilitation Medicine

Rehabilitation medicine focuses on helping patients regain function, strength, and mobility after an injury, surgery, or the onset of a neuromuscular condition. Patients often seek this type of care after an accident, a work-related injury, or a diagnosis that has affected movement or nerve function. At Complete Care, in the Bronx, a Provider on our team provides rehabilitation medicine evaluation and treatment alongside neurology and pain management care.

How Rehabilitation Needs Are Assessed

In general, a rehabilitation plan is based on an evaluation of how a nerve, muscle, or joint is functioning. Tools at the practice that may be used for this include:

Computerized Range-of-Motion Testing — used to measure range of motion and inform rehabilitation goals.
EMG & Nerve Conduction Studies — electrodiagnostic tests that may help assess nerve and muscle function.

Supporting Recovery

Depending on the evaluation, treatment may focus on managing pain and working on function, and may include:

TENS & Electrical Stimulation Therapy — a modality that may be used to help manage pain.
Therapeutic Ultrasound Therapy — a modality sometimes used as part of muscle and joint care.

Recovery time and results vary from patient to patient.

Insurance

We accept many insurance plans, including major medical insurance, HMO plans with a referral from your primary care provider, No-Fault coverage for motor vehicle accidents, and Workers' Compensation for job-related injuries. Coverage varies by plan, so please call the office to confirm yours.
