Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation

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, tendons and bones. Our goal is to help people with 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 or assistive devices.
