You may be surprised to discover that recovery from an injury, surgery or long-term illness takes much longer than expected. You may experience weakness, loss of normal function or limited ability to perform daily activities. That's when you need rehabilitative services to nurture the healing process and restore functioning.
Rehabilitation specialists at Blue Ridge Regional Hospital provide the therapy, training and education you need to regain and maintain health, build strength and improve performance. Our therapists combine personal attention with advanced technology and therapeutic treatments to deliver quality rehabilitative care. Services are customized for each patient and may include evaluation and training for assistive equipment or implementation of a treatment plan incorporating physical, occupational or speech therapy. Our experience will guide you through physical recovery, help you adjust to physical changes and offer the support you need to reach optimal health.

Inpatient Services
Rehabilitation begins as soon as possible for patients at Blue Ridge Regional Hospital. Your primary care physician must first make a referral and then our therapists are prepared to deliver therapy one-on-one. After discharge, patients may continue to receive the same level of care on an outpatient basis.
Outpatient Services
While we always encourage you to discuss health concerns with your primary care physician, you may seek outpatient treatment in our Rehabilitation Services Department without a physician's referral. If you suffer from a physical condition that causes pain, weakness or limits mobility, please call and talk to one of our physical therapists. They are licensed and trained to perform thorough physical assessments and to create an individualized treatment plan.
Outpatient services are available at two locations: Blue Ridge Regional Hospital in Spruce Pine and Blue Ridge Fitness and Rehabilitation in Burnsville.
Home Health Services
Blue Ridge Regional Hospital's home health services include rehabilitative treatments such as physical, occupational or speech therapy. The same qualified staff members ensure continuity of care and ongoing recovery by performing treatment in your home.
