If part of your body doesn’t work or move as it should, rehabilitation at Ballad Health can build your skills and ease pain.

Team up with friendly therapists at locations near you throughout East Tennessee and Southwest Virginia. You’ll get care you need to reach your potential.

Conditions we treat

Rehabilitation helps you recover if an injury or health condition affects your:

• Balance and walking
• Bones, joints or muscles
• Development and growth
• Heart or lungs
• Nervous system, including the brain and spine
• Talking or thinking skills
• Swallowing ability

Rehabilitative services & treatments

Ask your doctor if you’d benefit from:

• Rehabilitation just for your lungs, heart, brain and spine, or stroke recovery
• Aquatic (pool) therapy
• Lymphedema therapy
• Physical therapy and occupational therapy, including hand therapy
• Speech therapy
• Sports medicine services
• Pediatric rehabilitation and senior citizens rehabilitation

Rehabilitation can take place on an outpatient basis, meaning you live at home and come to us for treatment.

But you might start with inpatient rehabilitation and stay at a Ballad Health hospital if you need access to care 24 hours a day.

Your care team will talk with you and your family to decide what’s right for you.
