Comprehensive Audiological Testing

Electrophysiological Testing (Otoacoustic Emissions-OAE & Auditory Brainstem Response-ABR):

These tests measure the structure and function of the auditory system and require no response from the patient. These are often utilized for newborns to estimate hearing sensitivity, as they are too young to participate in behavioral testing. These tests, specifically the ABR, may also be utilized in a neurological capacity to determine the neurological synchrony of the auditory system.

Videonystagmography (VNG) testing:

Test for dizziness. The vestibular portion of the inner ear is assessed through various measures to locate any dysfunction and sources of a patient's dizziness and/or vertigo.

Hearing aid evaluation, fitting/dispensing, and analyses:

Review audiometric test results with patients and guide them towards the most appropriate hearing aid instruments. After the initial fitting of the hearing aid, electroacoustic analyses can be performed to ensure appropriate amplification settings.

Assistive devices:

Custom hearing protection, swim plugs, musician's earplugs, custom iPod earphones

The Physical Therapy department is complete with eight treatment rooms and a fully equipped PT room including recumbent bikes and steppers, elliptical machine, leg press, universal multifunction gym, and a functional capacity/work hardening workstation.

Aqua Therapy/heated pool

Performed in a heated pool, aqua therapy uses the physical properties of water to assist in patient healing and exercise performance while reducing stress on the joints, decrease swelling and improve joint position awareness.

Occupational Therapy

Incorporates meaningful and purposeful occupation to enable people with limitations or impairments to participate in everyday life. Occupational therapists work with individuals, families, groups and populations to facilitate health and well-being through engagement or re-engagement in occupation and enable people to participate in the activities of everyday life.

Crystal Run’s fellowship-trained physicians specializing in treatment and diagnosis of the shoulder are the only surgeons in the region performing Total Shoulder Reconstruction, Reverse Total Shoulder Replacement, along with a wide variety of arthroscopic surgeries for rotator cuff tears, and dislocating shoulders.

Leading-edge Treatments at Crystal Run:

• Total Shoulder Replacement Surgery (arthroplasty):

  A surgical procedure to replace the glenohumeral joint with a prosthetic implant to restore comfort and function to shoulders damaged by degenerative joint disease, osteoarthritis, or rheumatoid arthritis.

• Reverse Total Shoulder Replacement Surgery:

  A surgical procedure using a special prosthesis to restore comfort and improve function in shoulders with failed conventional total shoulder replacement or combined arthritis, rotator cuff tears and instability.

• Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair:

  A surgical procedure performed through small incisions using a camera to visualize the inside of a joint, and special instruments to repair the torn rotator cuff back to the bone. The arthroscopic technique minimizes both pain and blood loss, and makes for a faster, less painful recovery.

• Arthroscopic Instability Repair:

  Shoulders that dislocate frequently have a torn cartilage structure called the labrum. The labrum can be repaired back to bone to prevent future shoulder dislocations.
