    Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation

    ankle joint

    Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation provides integrated care for your muscles, bones and joints, combining diagnosis, treatment, education and rehabilitation. Physical medicine physicians, called physiatrists, are experts in nerves, muscles and bones. Our goal is to help people disabled by disease or injury remain as active as possible.

    After learning about your condition, our providers will offer tools and resources to manage your condition. Together, you will create an individualized plan to restore movement and function using nonsurgical treatment options as a first choice, which can include therapeutic exercises, medications, a variety of injections, braces or other assistive devices.

    To determine an accurate diagnosis to develop successful treatment options for you, Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation providers may use detailed medical histories or physical exams, or imaging or nerve conduction studies.
