Get Back to Living Life
Physical Therapy
Physical therapy intervention focuses on posture, mobility, strength, endurance, cardiopulmonary function, balance, coordination, joint mobility, flexibility, pain control and activities of daily living. Mobility training may include the use of orthotic, prosthetic or assistive devices. Our therapist focus on exercise, neuromuscular reeducation and manual therapy to help you reach your goals. Therapists may also use modalities such as heat/cold therapy, ultrasound and electrical stimulation sound to name a few. Education is an important part of each treatment plan. Many of our therapist have specialties in treating disorders to include vestibular, lymphedema, pelvic floor and dry needling.

Dry Needling
Dry Needling (DN) is a form of therapy in which fine needles are inserted into myofascial trigger points (painful knots in muscles), tendons, ligaments, or near nerves in order to stimulate a healing response in painful musculoskeletal conditions. Dry Needling can also be coupled with electrical current to further reduce pain for patients with appropriate conditions.
What is Dry Needling Effective For?
Evidence has shown dry needling can significantly decrease:
- Headaches
- Low-Back Pain
- Neck Pain
- TMJ (Jaw) Dysfunction
- Plantar Fasciitis
- Shoulder impingement
- Fibromyalgia
- Elbow pain (such as Tennis elbow)
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Shin Splints
- Knee Pain
- Post-surgical scar tissue pain
- Osteoarthritis
How is DN different from acupuncture?
- Dry Needling is research and evidence-based practice
- Dry Needling is a modern, anatomy-based intervention for musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction

Parkinson's Program- SPEAK OUT! and PWR! UP
SPEAK OUT!
Norman Regional Health System is pleased to offer a two-part speech therapy program to help individuals with Parkinson's regain and maintain effective communication: SPEAK OUT!® followed by The LOUD Crowd®.
SPEAK OUT!® places emphasis on speaking with intent and converting speech from an automatic function to an intentional act. Together, patients and their speech-language pathologist work through a series of speech, voice, and cognitive exercises outlined in a SPEAK OUT!® Workbook.
Upon completion of SPEAK OUT!®, patients transition to The LOUD Crowd®. This maintenance program consists of weekly group sessions led by a speech-language pathologist. The SPEAK OUT!® exercises are performed, and group members provide support, encouragement, and accountability to one another.
Participation in The LOUD Crowd®, along with daily home practice and six-month re-evaluations, has been shown to help patients maintain their communication skills throughout the progression of Parkinson's. For more information about SPEAK OUT!® and The LOUD Crowd® or to schedule a speech evaluation, please call us at 405-447-1571.
