Therapy Center
Sometimes making a full recovery from illness or injury involves more than medication or treatment from your doctor. Sometimes you need a therapist who can help you heal and return to your normal life.
At Merit Health Biloxi, we specialize in physical therapy and speech therapy to remedy a variety of physical problems. Every patient who comes under our care receives personalized therapy. We combine the recommendation of your physician with the experience of staff members to develop a therapy plan that's right for you.
We provide therapy to help:
- Muscle and joint pain
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Arthritis
- Post-surgery rehab: orthopedic and general surgery
- Stroke rehab
- Speech problems/voice problems
- Difficulty swallowing
- Picky eaters
- Difficulty transitioning from baby food to puree by 10 months, accepting table food solids by 12 months, etc.
- Balance problems
- Osteoporosis
- Vestibular rehab
- Spinal problems
Dry Needling
Dry needling can be used as a treatment for pain and movement problems. Thin needles are inserted into trigger points. This stimulates the muscles and may help ease pain, improve range of motion and aid in the rehabilitation process.
Feeding Therapy
The Sequential-Oral-Sensory (SOS) approach to feeding is a play-based program that is nationally and internationally recognized for its method of assessing and treating children with feeding difficulties. The program teaches children to eat at a pace that respects their readiness to progress through different steps of eating and provides them with the skills they need in order to eat a wide variety of food types and textures using the natural, social reinforcement of playing with the food and interacting with adults.
If you think physical therapy or speech therapy might be right for you, or if your doctor recommends therapy, then give us a call. You have the right to choose your therapist. No one else can make that choice for you.
Don't let injury or disease get you down. Let the rehab team help you recover your life. And remember that like all the care you receive from Merit Health Biloxi, the treatment from the Therapy Center is brought to you from neighbors you know. Give us a call today to find out more.
