Officials at Riverside Health System said their comprehensive rehabilitation services now include a physical therapy clinic right inside Riverside Primary Care Kiln Creek.
The newly remodeled space for Riverside Physical Therapy Kiln Creek offers added convenience for patients referred to PT after an appointment, according to a news release from Riverside.
“Your care is connected,” said Clinical Coordinator Nicole Baker. “We can see the details of your visits and follow the protocols for your progression of care. It avoids the crossed wires you might get when going outside of the Riverside umbrella.”
In addition to Baker, Riverside Physical Therapy Kiln Creek staff includes a PT assistant and rehabilitation aide. Patients benefit from a fully outfitted clinic from an equipment perspective, one which can support a full complement of PT and rehabilitation services.
“It is pretty unique, especially in a large health care system such as Riverside, to have this type of setup,” Baker said. “We are the first outpatient therapy clinic in a primary care practice for Riverside.”
Baker and her staff treat a variety of conditions that include post-operative orthopedic care, neurological issues and vestibular therapy related to balance problems. Neck, back and pelvic pain can also be treated, Riverside officials said.
Programs are individualized to meet the needs of all, from the worker’s compensation patient to the geriatric population.
According to Riverside, the clinic follows all of the health system’s safety and sanitation guidelines for COVID-19. Staff wear masks and eye goggles to reduce the chance of virus transmission. Patients must wear masks and remain socially distant from each other during treatment. Visitors are restricted to those managing a patient’s medical care.
The clinic accepts referrals from patients not being treated by a Riverside provider. Patients can also see a physical therapist without a referral through a direct access appointment, according to Riverside.
Riverside Physical Therapy Kiln Creek, 209 Village Ave., Suite O in Yorktown, is open weekdays from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. Call 757-316-5090 to schedule an appointment or click here.
