Geriatric Enhanced Modalities
In sports medicine settings, clinicians frequently use
specialized equipment to treat problems like pain and swelling in
younger adults. But we've found that seniors also can benefit from
this type of treatment.
Under our Geriatric Enhanced Modalities (GEM) program, we offer
therapy protocols designed specifically for the health conditions
common to seniors. Our clinicians are specially trained to
integrate the modalities of shortwave diathermy, e-stim, and
ultrasound with traditional therapy approaches to maximize
patient
outcomes.
These patients enjoy better mobility, less pain, greater joint
flexibility, faster recovery, earlier discharge from therapy and an
enhanced quality of life.
GEM uses ultrasound, diathermy and electrical stimulation for a
variety of treatments including:
- Stroke recovery
- Continence management
- Joint replacement therapy
- Wound care
- Osteoarthritis
