Orthopedic Rehabilitation

People who have had joint replacement surgery, bone trauma, a musculoskeletal injury or a degenerative joint disease, often have limited function and mobility, pain and other complications. The orthopedic rehabilitation specialists at Banner Rehabilitation Hospital help individuals like you recover the skills, strength and strategies to confidently resume your daily activities. 

It’s important to remember that recovery takes time. Each patient is different and your stay with us will depend on the extent of your injury and/or surgery, any other medical issues and your daily progress.

A team approach to treatment

At Banner Rehabilitation Hospital, we draw on the expertise of a team of orthopedic rehabilitation specialists to address the range of physical and functional challenges you face following injury, joint replacement or other bone-related conditions.   

This interdisciplinary team is led by a physiatrist, a physician board-certified in physical medicine and rehabilitation and may include rehabilitation nurses; physical and occupational therapists; dietitians; pharmacists; case managers and other clinical and support staff as needed.

An individualized rehabilitation program

Treatment is tailored to your medical, physical and functional needs and goals to help:

  • Restore physical abilities
  • Build strength and endurance
  • Minimize pain
  • Manage any post-surgical inflammation or swelling
  • Improve balance and regain mobility
  • Enhance skills to perform daily activities
  • Increase independence

Through this highly coordinated program, we also manage your post-surgical needs and monitor for complications. We help you follow precautions related to your surgery, including how to lie in bed, sit, stand, bend and move safely.

We also provide extensive education, training and support to help you understand your condition, use the strategies provided to manage everyday activities and move forward with confidence.
