Why choose Ochsner for orthopedic rehabilitation?
Orthopedic rehabilitation is a specialized area of physical and occupational therapy focused on injuries and conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system, including muscles, bones, joints, ligaments and tendons. The goal of orthopedic therapy is to alleviate pain and restore function through targeted movement exercises.
This type of therapy is ideal for patients recovering from surgery, healing from injury or managing joint and spine conditions. Treatment is designed to reduce pain, restore strength and improve movement. Your doctor may recommend orthopedic rehabilitation for:
- Joint replacements (hip, knee or shoulder)
- Ligament or tendon repairs
- Spine and disc conditions
- Rotator cuff injuries
- Fractures and joint instability
- Chronic joint pain or arthritis
At Ochsner, our orthopedic therapists collaborate closely with the orthopedics clinical team and physicians to make sure your care is well-coordinated and tailored to you. We take a whole-person approach to care, developing treatment plans that align with your personal goals and abilities.
