What is an Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Doctor?

A Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) Doctor, commonly referred to as a Physiatrist, is a medical doctor that treats physical and cognitive conditions, impairments, and disabilities related to the brain, spinal cord, nerves, bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, and tendons. Physiatrists focus on rehabilitation and maximizing patients' quality of life, daily function, and independence.

Physiatrists help patients address a wide-variety of issues, such as workplace (occupational) injuries, sports injuries, orthopedic injuries, back / spine injuries, spasticity, stroke, brain injuries, multiple sclerosis (MS), burn injuries, physical rehabilitation, chronic pain management, and much more.

A physiatrist specializes in physical medicine and rehabilitation, focusing on restoring function and improving quality of life for patients with musculoskeletal injuries, neurological conditions, or disabilities without surgery.

A physiatrist treats stroke, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, back and neck pain, sports injuries, arthritis, and neuromuscular diseases. They coordinate comprehensive rehabilitation programs involving physical and occupational therapy.
