Physiatry (Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation), is a medical specialty that developed after WWII in treating wounded soldiers to facilitate recovery and restore function. Physiatrist often sub-specializes in sports and musculoskeletal medicine focusing on disorders of bones, muscles, and nerves. As a Physical Medicine Specialist, I am trained to examine the body thoroughly. Not only are the muscles and soft tissues evaluated, but a full neurologic examination, biomechanical analysis, and functional exam are all incorporated to precisely determine the underlying problem(s). The ultimate purpose is to go well beyond alleviating symptoms or providing temporary relief.
To effectively manage a sports injury or a degenerative impairment, it is imperative to have an accurate diagnosis. Without one, the treatment cannot be correctly designed to address the often elusive source of pain or dysfunction and to prevent recurrences. A comprehensive, individualized treatment plan can and must be customized to restore optimal health and function, and that’s exactly what we do.
