Specialists in Physical Medicine and
Rehabilitation deliver comprehensive care to adults and
children with neuromusculoskeletal impairments due to traumatic
injury and disease.
We treat patients with cerebro-vascular accidents, spinal cord injuries,
traumatic brain injuries, multiple trauma, and neuromuscular
disorders in our inpatient rehabilitation unit at Sentara
Norfolk General Hospital. We evaluate hospital patients for
acute rehabilitation needs, while working closely with the
referring physicians, and provide additional services such as
bedside electromyographic studies, pain management, and
prescription of medical equipment and therapies.
We also see patients at nursing home facilities for their sub-acute
rehabilitation and chronic care. Outpatient services in Hofheimer Hall
include EMG/nerve conduction studies, treatment of musculoskeletal pain,
sports injuries, chronic pain, neck/back problems, and occupational
injuries, utilizing electrodiagnostic studies, manual medicine
therapy, trigger point injections, acupuncture, and prescription of exercises
and physical modalities. We also perform independent medical evaluations and
assign impairment ratings. |
