Rehabilitation Services

Physical medicine and rehabilitation are the health care specialties focused on restoring the health and functional abilities of people following acute illness or injury such as stroke, amputation, joint replacement, sports injuries or spinal disorders.

Physical Therapy
Patients work with a physical therapist recovering from an injury or disease to build strength, relieve pain, possibly regain the use of an affected limb or relearn daily living skills such as walking.
Occupational Therapy
Patients are taught the skills necessary for independent living following an illness or injury.
Speech Therapy
Patients work with a speech-language pathologist to treat language and speech disorders. Speech-language pathologists can also help with swallowing disorders.

Aquatic Therapy
Patients receive treatment at the L.A. Fitness Center in McDonough.
Specialty programs:
Back training program
Pelvic floor program
Functional capacity evaluations and work conditioning
Sports medicine rehabilitation
Comprehensive home and job site evaluations with adaptation recommendations

Before a patient can be evaluated and treated by a therapist, the patient will first need a physician’s order indicating the specific discipline they want consulted, the diagnosis and statement “Evaluate and Treat”.

PHH’s staff is dedicated to advancing knowledge of effective physical medicine and rehabilitation therapies, and to delivering the best possible patient care.

Sleep Lab

Over 70 million Americans suffer from more than 80 types of sleep disorders. A sleep disorder can impact relationships, health, daily activities and driving skills. The Sleep Lab at PHH is here to help if you suffer from a sleep disorder.

The most common sleep disorder is Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). People suffering from OSA stop breathing, often hundreds of time a night, which disrupts their sleep and puts them at a higher risk for uncontrolled hypertension, heart attacks and stroke. Common symptoms of OSA include:

Excessive daytime sleepiness (falling asleep at inappropriate times)
Loud snoring
Obesity
High blood pressure
Waking from sleep choking or gasping for air
Morning headaches
Loss of sex drive
Depression

Other sleep disorders are:

Narcolepsy – frequent attacks of drowsiness and sleepiness
Insomnia – inability to initiate or maintain sleep
Periodic Limb Movement Disorder (PLMD)/Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) – twitching of the legs and sometimes arms or creepy/crawly feelings in the legs
Parasomnias – disorder that includes sleep walking, bed wetting, teeth grinding and night terrors

Sleep disorders are diagnosed through several methods and may include one or more nights and/or
days of sleep testing.

Sleep study or nocturnal polysomnogram (NPSG) is an overnight test that looks at a person’s brain waves, air flow, oxygen level, heart rhythm, and is performed at a person’s routine bed time.
Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT) measures daytime sleepiness and consists of five 20-minute naps throughout the day following a sleep study.
Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure study (CPAP) or Bi-level Positive Airway Pressure study (Bi-PAP) is a non-invasive treatment requiring a second sleep study to determine the appropriate amount of pressure to eliminate apnea and snoring.
Children can also suffer from sleep disorders which can result in learning difficulties, slow growth and hyperactivity. Children six and older may receive treated at Piedmont Henry Hospital’s Sleep Lab.
