Physiatrists are part of our multi-disciplinary medical team. They are physicians who specialize in physical medicine and rehabilitation, diagnosing and providing aggressive, non-operative treatments of neurological and musculoskeletal conditions. This specialty focuses on restoring function to their patients.
Physiatrists can help people with arthritis, tendonitis, any kind of neck/back pain, and work- or sports-related injuries. Physiatrists also treat patients with acute and chronic pain syndromes.
To diagnose and treat problems of the musculoskeletal system, a physiatrist will perform thorough histories and physical examinations to find the source of your pain, injury or disability. Electro diagnostic studies, also known as E.M.G.'s, may be used to enhance the doctor’s ability to diagnosis complex cases.
Different facets of an individualized treatment plan might include:
- Physical or occupational therapy
- Medications
- Joint or fluoroscopic guided injections
