North Oaks Outpatient Rehabilitation Services
Special Services & Programs
Along with traditional therapies, North Oaks offers a variety of special services to address your specific needs.
Balance/Vestibular Therapy
This form of therapy aims to help individuals with complaints of unsteadiness resulting from inner ear problems, muscle weakness or other issues that affect balance.
Brain, Spine, and Stroke Program
This program aims to improve strength, coordination and balance for patients with neurological disorders and spinal cord injuries. These skills help to increase independence at home and in community settings.
Certified Hand Therapy
This therapy focuses on upper extremities, such as hands or arms, that have become impaired due to injury or disability.
Dry Needling
This is a form of treatment used by physical therapists to remove problem areas in muscles and other soft tissues. It also helps reduce and, in some cases, eliminate chronic muscle and nerve pain.
Pelvic Health
Pelvic health for men and women focuses on urinary incontinence issues related to age, diabetes, recurring urinary tract infections, post menopause, pre- and post-pregnancy, and abdominal surgery. We also work with patients who suffer from bowel incontinence.
Lymphedema Program
The goal of the lymphedema program is to educate patients about the signs and symptoms of lymphedema (swelling due to a build-up of lymph fluid in the body) and how to independently manage it. North Oaks provides quality treatment options, including therapeutic exercises to improve range of motion and functional use of the involved limb, as well as the use of bandaging, compression garments and manual lymphatic drainage to decrease and maintain appropriate lymphatic limb volume. Patients will learn the importance of skin care and maintaining skin integrity with lymphedema.
McKenzie Method (Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy)
The McKenzie method is a non-surgical approach to manage problems related to the back, neck and extremities.
Prosthetics & Orthotics Clinic
When your physician prescribes prosthetic and/or orthotic devices, we can help determine the best choice for you.
Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Dysfunction
North Oaks offers rehabilitation therapy to individuals with problems chewing, biting or other issues related to imbalances of the jaw.
Wheelchair Clinic
Let our therapists and vendors help you select a wheelchair and seating system that best meets your needs.
Women's Health
Here, we offer specialized treatment and education to mothers, mothers-to-be, post-breast surgery patients and women suffering from pelvic pain and incontinence.
