Therapy Rehabilitation ★
Home ★ Therapy Rehabilitation ★
Injuries, diseases and other physical problems often require special treatment regimens for body parts to regain function. Rehabilitation therapy helps patients return to their normal and active lifestyle with confidence. Programs range from Physical Therapy, designed to strengthen areas of the body, Pain Management (alleviates suffering through medication and other avenues), and Infusion Therapy (the administration of medications using intravenous, subcutaneous and epidural routes to treat infections, gastrointestinal diseases, including hepatitis, and immune disorders).
Infusion Therapy / Specialty Compounding Pharmacy
Infusion Therapy focuses on delivering medication intravenously, such as via needle or catheter. These substances can include antibiotics, nutrients, hydration, pain medication and chemotherapy. Often such therapy is performed in the privacy of home or another alternate care setting by skilled caregivers, following strict dosing requirements. Conditions that may require Infusion Therapy include cancer, dehydration, gastrointestinal diseases and immune deficiencies. A qualified physician who oversees the patient’s care orders a prescription for the therapy.

Airrosti
Airrosti means “Applied Integration for Rapid Recovery of Soft Tissue Injuries”. Airrosti Certified trained providers concentrate on injured muscles healing themselves in a short time, as well as the rapid healing of the (now distorted) fascia surrounding the muscles, tendons and ligaments that can contribute to long-term problems. The goal is 95% pain-free movement in just a few visits. In addition to muscle healing, emphasis is on returning connective tissue (fascia) back to its non-distorted state. This removes any chance of long-term chronic conditions that often accompany soft-tissue injuries.
