Have you recently received an injury or are recovering from surgery? If so, chances are you may be in need of an assistive device to aid in healing. PWR Physio offers DME, or durable medical equipment, to help our patients in need.
Medicare defines durable medical equipment, or DME, as “reusable medical equipment that has been deemed medically necessary. Your doctor or another health care provider determines what equipment you need per Medicare guidelines. He or she assesses your health condition, what equipment can be used in your home and what equipment you are able to use.”
PWR Physio in Lenexa, KS, and greater Kansas City is a credentialed Medicare & Medicaid supplier of Durable Medical Equipment with all insurance networks in Kansas. We are credentialed to do such through our discipline. As such, DME is an efficient adjunct to therapy for many conditions, especially acute conditions where a prolonged therapy care plan is NOT the most efficient form of treatment.
We incorporate the clinical and administrative vetting and management of orthopedic knee, ankle, spinal and upper extremity orthotics of various types, brands and specifications into our care plans.
We also incorporate walking aids and assistive devices of various types and brands into our care plans. These include, but are not limited to walkers, rollator walkers, canes, manual wheelchairs and accessories, ‘offloading’ boots, home cervical traction devices, TENS units, crutches and foot drop supports.
Walkers can be helpful for individuals recovering from a stroke or learning how to walk again after suffering an injury or broken bone in the leg. They’re also helpful for people who need assistance walking but don’t quite need a wheelchair. Patients can use them for support, balance, and to rest if needed.
Wheelchairs are helpful for short-term recovery after surgeries as limbs and injuries heal.
These are non-invasive traction devices that relieve neck pain. They work by stretching soft tissues in the neck and separating the spinal joint structures.
Crutches are often used for individuals who cannot put their weight on one lower limb, possibly due to a break, injury, or surgery.
If you have been injured or have a condition that may require the use of an assistive device, call our clinic in Lenexa, KS, and greater Kansas City to learn more about durable medical equipment that may be helpful for you in your recovery journey.
