Skin and Tissues

Burn Rehabilitation

Burn therapy is essential for optimal recovery after a burn injury and helps restore movement, function, and skin health. Our experienced therapists focus on minimizing scar formation, maintaining skin and tissue flexibility, reducing swelling, and preventing infection throughout the healing process. They guide you through proper wound and dressing care, help determine the most effective burn care products, and provide strategies to manage pain and itching. In addition, they specialize in compression garment selection to reduce hypertrophic scarring and swelling, ensuring you receive a garment that fits well, stays in place, and delivers the right compression for long-term healing and improved outcomes.

Skin and Tissues

Wound Rehabilitation

Wound therapy is a vital part of the healing process and plays an important role in preventing complications. Our certified wound and lymphedema therapists use best practices to minimize scar tissue, control swelling, maintain tissue flexibility, and reduce the risk of infection. They are highly skilled in all aspects of wound care, including cleaning wounds, changing dressings, selecting the most effective wound care products, and managing swelling. They are also knowledgeable about a wide range of compression products and will help you choose the right garment—one that is comfortable, easy to use, and provides the proper amount of compression to support healing and prevent further complications.

"The staff is truly caring and the quality of service is exceptional. My mom's results improved tremendously within just a couple weeks of therapy here. Previously, she had been through numerous rounds of therapy at TOC's therapy without as much success. I highly recommend their specialized approach to therapy!"
