Orthopedic Rehabilitation

With more experience than any other hospital in the region, Riverside Healthcare’s orthopedic rehabilitation program is here to get you back to your active life faster after an injury or surgery.

We’ve streamlined our process for all patients – allowing pre-testing, orthopedic surgery and rehabilitation to be completed in one seamless program. The result? Patients spend far less time in the hospital and in post-operative rehab than the national average.

For more information, and to start your road to recovery, please call (815) 802-7090.

Convenient, High-Quality Care

Riverside’s dedicated inpatient rehabilitation unit has been awarded a 3-year accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF). That means you can count on the highest, national levels of rehabilitative care, right here at home.

That quality extends to our outpatient rehabilitation clinics, conveniently located throughout our Kankakee, Bourbonnais, Frankfort, Watseka and surrounding communities. We also offer short-stay residential rehabilitation, and can even deliver services in the comfort of your home through specially trained physical, occupational and speech therapists.

Personalized Programs to Get You Moving Again

Working closely with you and your physician, your rehabilitation team will design a tailor-made treatment plan to help relieve pain and restore strength, function and mobility.

Specialties include:

• Physical Therapy: We provide comprehensive exercise and strength and conditioning therapies for severe arthritis, multiple orthopedic traumas and other bone and joint injuries. The team also includes specialized spine therapists trained to help relieve neck and back pain.
• Occupational Therapy: We’ll help you regain the ability to perform daily activities following an illness or injury; home living situations are simulated for activities such as bathing, grooming, meal planning and housekeeping.
• Post-Operative Therapy: If you’re hospitalized following surgery like joint replacement, you’ll be seen by a physical therapist in the comfort of your room. We may have you out of bed and moving the same as surgery.
• Pediatric Rehabilitation: Our comprehensive pediatric rehabilitation program includes occupational therapists specially trained to treat orthopedic conditions and injuries affecting children, from newborn to 16 years of age. Our caring, professional staff provides services for a diverse group of children and respects the special limitations and strengths of each child and family.
• Sports Medicine: Kickstart your comeback from an athletic injury with Riverside’s sports medicine rehabilitation specialists. Our team of specially trained therapists will design a customized treatment plan to help you return to pre-injury form.
