Occupational Therapy (OT)
Outpatient OT Services
Occupational therapists evaluate and treat people who have problems with the upper body, including the shoulder, elbow, and hand. They also help patients with thinking and perception challenges.
The goal of occupational therapy is to improve thinking skills, strength, and daily function so patients can move better and live more independently. Therapists may provide adaptive equipment to help patients take part more fully in everyday life.
Patients learn skills to complete daily tasks, manage their condition, live more independently, and return to work when possible. Treatment may include exercises, splinting, functional training, and techniques to reduce swelling and manage pain.
Occupational Therapists can help with:
- Hand Injuries
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Shoulder and elbow injuries
- Sports related injuries
- Pre-surgical and Post-surgical rehabilitation
- Parkinson’s disease, stroke, and other neurological conditions.
- Head injuries
- Amputations
How We Do It Differently
At Newberry Health Outpatient Therapy, we are dedicated to providing individualized, one-on-one care. You will experience a cooperative environment in which each therapist is committed to ensuring you meet your personal goals. Each treatment session is approximately 45 minutes of hands-on care and direct instruction from a licensed therapist. We encourage our patients to take an active role in their recovery by providing and updating home programs regularly. This empowers you to control your symptoms and improve function in a timely manner, enabling you to improve independence, return to work and resume recreational hobbies as desired.
Insurance
We accept all insurance carriers to include Medicare, Medicaid, Tricare and private insurance.
Insurance may require prior authorization for services which will be determined prior to your initial evaluation, if you have any specific questions about your benefits, we encourage you to contact your insurance carrier.
Direct Access
Do you have a new injury or a nagging pain, but can’t get in to see your physician? Most insurance companies will allow you to see a licensed Physical Therapist for 30 Calendar days, without needing a doctor’s referral. If therapy is still needed beyond that time, your therapist can request an order from your physician to allow for continuation of services.
Don't push through the pain on your own. Give us a call - we'd love to help you feel better and get back to what you enjoy!
