What is physiatry?

Physiatry — also called Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation — specializes in the diagnosis, treatment and management of pain primarily using "physical" means, such as physical therapy and medications.

This kind of care is for adults and adolescents and is often sought following a car crash, a sports injury or even during pregnancy when you might be experiencing lower back pain.

Areas of the body our experts focus on include:

• Neck
• Mid- and upper back
• Arm and leg joints

Additionally, we treat any of your acute and chronic musculoskeletal disorders.

Your Personalized Care Plan

Our physiatrists implement a number of advanced methods to gain a full understanding of what's causing your pain and begin building your treatment plan, including:

• Comprehensive musculoskeletal evaluations
• Electrodiagnostic testing
• Musculoskeletal ultrasound
• Diagnostic therapeutic injections

Following your diagnosis, we know that your successful treatment plan is one that fits your needs and lifestyle. That's why our physiatrists are specialized in and coordinate an array of non-surgical options.

• Image-guided injections
• Physical therapy
• Occupational therapy
