We have tech’s and admin support staff to ensure smooth processes and the best possible customer care anyone can provide. It is our goal as a company and as an individual department to ensure the greatest possible care for our patients.

Our rehabilitation team is split up into two groups: adult foster care and outpatient therapy. Our adult foster care team focuses on the rehabilitation of our Insight Healing Center patients. Oftentimes, these patients have been involved in automobile accidents and require 24/7, around the clock care. Our physical and occupational therapists work with them daily, along with the nursing staff, aides, social workers, and speech therapists, in order to help them improve their wellbeing every day. Insight has two outpatient treatment facilities at this time, and will be opening up a third in the near future. At these locations, patients may be treated by a physical therapist, physical therapy assistant, occupational therapist, occupational therapy assistant, and a speech language pathologist. Our outpatient team is capable of treating any diagnosis, from post-operative care to chronic care management.

We specialize in services including, but not limited to, spine care, post-surgical therapy, chronic neck and back pain, neurological disorders, scoliosis, loss of balance, ergonomics, upper extremity therapy, and antenatal and postnatal care.
