Saint Alphonsus Medical Center - Baker City's physical therapists serve the community in numerous ways by treating patients in the hospital, in nursing homes and assisted living facilities as well as seeing individuals in our outpatient clinic. Physical therapy is ordered for patients with various diagnoses: orthopedic concerns, neurological problems, developmental delay, sports medicine, acute and chronic pain, and many more. Our therapists are skilled in a wide range of techniques so that each patient can be treated as an individual with their own special needs and goals. We provide care designed to minimize or resolve symptoms as we assist patients to increase strength, flexibility, fitness, and function. Each therapist also educates patients, family members, and caregivers regarding health problems and designs a home exercise program to be used to maintain independence, quality of life and hopefully reoccurrence of injury.
