Henry County Rehabilitation Center

100+ Years of Combined Medical Experience in Napoleon, OH

At Henry County Hospital, we care for patients so that they can return to a functional lifestyle as soon as possible. The loss of mobility or cognitive function due to an illness or injury can be a devastating time for both the patient and their loved ones. We hope to lessen the devastation and provide a personalized plan to help a patient recover their independence, as well as reach their maximum potential.

We offer comprehensive rehabilitative services including:

• Occupational Therapy - The goal of this therapy is to help the patient achieve a functional lifestyle and maximize their ability to care for themselves and live independently.
• Physical Therapy - The goal of physical therapy is to help patients treat neurological, muscular, bone, joint, and other disorders caused by pain, swelling, limited movement, and more.
• Speech Therapy - The goal of speech therapy is to help patients develop a program that enables them to improve their ability to speak, read, write, swallow, remember, and communicate.
• Aquatic Therapy - The therapy is performed in our warm water pool and a therapist guides you through a one-on-one session to increase flexibility/strength, decrease pain and swelling, and stimulate balance and muscle control.

All of our therapies are available and offered to patients of all ages. Family members and loved ones are encouraged to be part of the experience as well.

TMJ Therapy

One of the most widely used joints in the body is perhaps one of the least-known. The Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) is a small joint in the jaw. Nearly half of all adults will experience pain or discomfort caused by this joint at some point in their lifetime. It is more common in women than in men and more common in individuals aged 15-40. It can result in headaches, decreased jaw mobility, jaw clicking, facial pain, pain in the joint or ears, or pain in the masticatory muscles.

If diagnosed with TMJ, we can provide therapy such as:

• Jaw exercises
• Pain control modalities
• Postural education and training
• Manual therapy
• Habit and activity modification

TMJ can be caused by grinding teeth, bad posture, misalignment, and more. Our rehabilitation services can effectively improve your TMJ and get your jaw back to optimal performance.

Pediatric Therapy

Parents want their children to lead a well-adjusted life. At Henry County Hospital, we strive to help children in need of therapy reach their maximum potential. This can include therapy that addresses handwriting, speech, socialization, organization, daily living activities, coordination, and more.

We routinely treat a variety of conditions including the following:

• Developmental delays
• Torticollis
• Birth defects
• Cerebral palsy
• Juvenile arthritis
• Genetic disorders

All of our pediatric therapy is customized to each child's individual needs and carried out in a fun environment that utilizes play-like therapy to address the child's condition. In addition, our Speech Language Pathologist does an excellent job of providing speech therapy to children with autism, apraxia, and more.

Lymphedema Therapy

Lymphedema occurs in patients that experience excess fluid in a particular part of the body. For breast cancer patients, this is usually the arms. Because of your damaged lymph nodes, your body cannot process the fluid correctly, causing inability to use your fingers, increased pain, and difficulty caring for yourself.

Our physical and occupational therapy staff are specially trained to treat and manage lymphedema symptoms:

• Strength and movement exercises
• Home activities to reduce swelling
• Body positioning techniques to increase drainage
• Supplies and techniques to wrap extremities to decrease swelling
• Prevention techniques

Any heaviness, aching, swelling, or other sensations in an extremity should be monitored carefully by health care professionals and promptly addressed by therapists.

Pelvic Health Therapy

Our pelvic health services can help patients who are suffering from urinary or bowel incontinence, pain during pregnancy or post-partum, and pelvic pain.

We offer the following options to address pelvic health concerns:

• Internal/external pelvic floor treatments
• Manual therapy techniques
• Therapeutic exercises
• Aquatic therapy
• Postural awareness
• Body mechanics
• Pain modalities
• Bracing options

Patients can expect one-on-one evaluations and treatments, an individual plan of care, treatments ranging from one to three times a week and appointment times generally lasting 45-60 minutes.

Parkinson's Therapy

Henry County Hospital now offers LSVT BIG therapy. This is a whole body, high-amplitude-based exercise program triggering activation across motor systems. Research has shown that this exercise can improve brain function and slow disease progression. LSVT BIG can be modified for the patient, but typically includes four days a week for 4 consecutive weeks totaling 16 hours of individual sessions at high effort.

In addition, our Delay the Disease (DTD) program is designed to delay the progression of symptoms of Parkinson's Disease through exercise. We use strength, balance, and coordination therapy to help the patient reach optimal function. We also incorporate motivation and optimistic teaching methods.

Vertigo Therapy

Vertigo-the sensation of lost balance and whirling-is caused by abnormalities that affect the inner ear. Vestibular dysfunction, or vertigo, can be caused by the following:

• Degeneration of hair cells in inner ear
• Viral or bacterial infection
• Alterations in ear pressure
• Head trauma
• Calcium particles in the semicircular canals

A trained therapist can treat these symptoms with a series of timed head movements and education in exercise, to assist with decreasing the likelihood of recurrence.

Henry County Hospital is proud to provide exceptional rehabilitation services to our patients throughout Henry County. Don't hesitate to contact us with further questions or for information about our Almost Home program.
