Aspirus
Rhinelander
Clinic
expands
services
Aspirus Rhinelander Clinic recently
expanded its cardiac rehab and therapy
services to better serve patients.
The clinic is now offering cardiac
rehabilitation services on-site and
has newly devoted space available
to provide physical and occupational
therapy services.
Cardiac rehab
Cardiac rehab is an outpatient service
that helps people gain strength and return
to a normal, active lifestyle following heart-
related procedures. The Aspirus cardiac
rehab program focuses on education,
lifestyle change and exercise.
“Aspirus has one of the best heart
programs in the region, but it was an
inconvenience for area
residents to have to travel
back and forth to Wausau
for their follow-up cardiac
rehab care,” said Robb
Fabich, regional director
for Aspirus Clinics.
Outpatient therapy
Physical and
occupational therapy have
been provided at Aspirus
Rhinelander Clinic for about
three years, and now the
services have expanded to
include additional staff and space.
Physical and occupational therapy
services are offered at Aspirus
Rhinelander Clinic on an outpatient
basis. The therapists treat orthopedic
conditions, neurologic conditions, back
and neck pain and general weakness.
The following specialty programs also
are available:
w
Headache management.
w
Lymphedema treatment/
management.
w
Myofacial release.
w
Sports medicine.
w
Upper extremity splinting, including
hands.
w
Urinary incontinence treatment.
w
Vestibular therapy.
w
Women’s health services.
Physical therapy is offered five
days a week from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Occupational therapy is available
Mondays and Wednesdays from
8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Thursdays
and Fridays from 8 a.m. to noon.
