Spain Rehabilitation Center

Our team of physiatrists (doctors who specialize in physical medicine and rehabilitation) work with patients to maximize what they can do and help them adapt to the things they cannot do. A physiatrist should be consulted when pain, weakness, or disability prevents a person from achieving his/her desired level of independence. Care plans include medication, injections, therapy, recommendations for adaptive devices, and partnering with other medical specialists as needed. Our physiatrists treat a wide variety of injuries, illnesses, disabilities, and diagnoses.

These are specialties within psychology focused on developing programs to help patients with disabilities and chronic health conditions achieve daily lives that are personally fulfilling, socially meaningful, and more functional. These specialists are experts in understanding the relationship between the brain and behavior. 

Physical therapy helps improve overall health and restore functional skills and abilities such as bed mobility, moving from one setting to another, walking, range of motion, and balance, while also considering and addressing pain relief. Our physical therapists use specially designed exercises and equipment to help patients regain or improve their physical abilities, with or without adaptive devices. Unique programs offered include aquatic therapy and wheelchair positioning and seating.

Occupational therapy helps improve patients’ overall function, with the goals of enhancing quality of life and helping them return to their homes and communities. This includes maximizing their ability to perform daily living and self-care tasks such as dressing and bathing, as well as visual and perceptual training, cognitive re-training, work simplification, and the effective use of adaptive and assistive devices.

These specialists assess and treat speech-language disorders and swallowing issues, along with helping improve social and cognitive communication. Our speech therapists may consider alternative communication systems for patients with severe speech and/or comprehension impairment.

These specialists provide relaxing, entertaining, and therapeutic programs for anxiety, depression, pain, and emotional/spiritual support. Our music therapists also focus on patients with neurological conditions following a stroke or brain injury, using music to improve cognitive, sensory, language, and motor abilities.

These specialists help patients return to their communities and participate in leisure activities that improve their quality of life. They also share knowledge with patients to address any physical, emotional, social, or cognitive barriers to leisure activities through adaptations, alternatives, and community resources. 

These professionals help patients and their families set goals that will be integrated into the treatment plan. They also help coordinate care, handle paperwork and processes related to inpatient stays, work with patients and their families to arrange for a safer discharge, and serve as patient advocates.

These specialists create or help identify devices that allow patients to regain or improve their mobility and functionality. They design and fabricate medical supportive devices and measure and fit patients for them. Such devices include artificial limbs (arms, hands, legs, and feet), braces, and other medical devices.
