Speech-Language Pathologists are a part of our comprehensive rehabilitative team at WIREGRASS Medical Center. Their goal is to assist our patients in achieving their maximum level of potential for speech, language, voice/vocal quality, and swallow functions. Our speech therapists are among the very few in the state of Alabama who are Certified to offer Vital-Stim®, (a non invasive electrical stimulation to restore or improve swallow function). Our speech therapy services are offered to children, adults, and senior citizens – in all settings of during hospital stays, out-patient, and home health care.
For proper balance and smooth movements in your lifestyle, your brain, muscles, and joints must work in proper coordination. Whether you are walking, rising from a chair, climbing stairs, or reaching down into a kitchen cabinet, your balance must be “in tune” to prevent a fall. Strength, flexibility, and smooth/coordinated movement patterns can now be evaluated at Therapy-Plus, using research-based methods, to identify each person’s unique deficits and fall risks. Based on this unique evaluation process, our Therapists provide you the necessary gait training and specialized balance exercise program to maximize safety and mobility.
The “CHT” (Certified Hand Therapist) credential is recognized as a benchmark for excellence in advanced specialty credentialing in health care. The intricate anatomy of the arm and hand frequently requires very delicate surgery, often with microscopic techniques which necessitate a high level of competence by therapists. Our Certified Hand Therapist provides this high level of competency in hand therapy, customized splinting, and specialized care needed following hand/wrist surgery.
