Recovering from Orthopedic Conditions

With specialized care and leading-edge recovery techniques, Salude’s orthopedic and musculoskeletal rehabilitation helps patients regain strength and confidence so they can enhance the vibrancy of their lives. We combine our state-of-the-art equipment with our experienced staff to provide our patients with individualized one-on-one therapy and help them recover from many types of orthopedic and musculoskeletal conditions, including:

• Fractures
• Total knee replacement
• Total hip replacement
• Spinal injuries and surgeries
• Multiple traumas
• Amputations

Evidence-Based Practice

Salude’s orthopedic and musculoskeletal rehab is driven by evidence-based practice. Our therapists use an outcomes based database with over seven million patient outcomes to help tailor each patient’s recovery plan to their specific needs. Therapists track patient progress as they work toward recovery and adjust therapy as needed.

Exclusive “Transitionist” Care Model

Our “transitionist” model utilizes our full-time physician CEO to lead the clinical program. As a part of this model, we have nurse practitioners, internists and a physiatrist (rehabilitation physician) available up to 7 days a week.

We are different from other recovery centers in that our care services aren’t just limited to within our four walls. We have nurse practitioners in our community available for patient home visits as needed after they are discharged home from Salude and until they are safely bridged to their own specialty and primary care physicians.
