What are Physiatrists or Physical Medicine Doctors?
Physiatrists specialize in non-surgical physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R) for patients who have been disabled as a result of a disease, condition, disorder, or injury. They diagnose, perform thorough patient histories, treat injuries and conditions, and direct your expanded treatment team using non-surgical methods. Physiatrists focus on a personalized method of treatment to improve their patients’ quality of life — one that involves a comprehensive approach to expand the framework of resources at a patient’s disposal. As a result, a patient’s recuperation involves every aspect of their lives.
