About physical medicine and rehabilitation services

Physical medicine and rehabilitation focuses on diagnosing and treating problems that affect the muscles, bones and joints, as well as the nervous system. Your physiatrist, a doctor who specializes in physical medicine and rehabilitation, often partners with a team with other doctors, therapists and specialists to provide your care.

Our main goal is to improve your quality of life. Your physiatrist will work with you and your loved ones to restore your body - and your life - as much as possible.

What we can do

Your physiatrist can conduct physical exams, prescribe healing therapies, and develop treatment plans. Your physiatrist can also prescribe spine and large joint injections as needed to support your rehabilitation program. Using a holistic approach, they will look at how your entire body is being impacted, not just where your condition is causing concern.
