Pediatric and Adult Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation
The Best Care ... for Acute Care
We treat a wide range of problems from sore shoulders to brain injuries. Our goal is to decrease pain and enhance performance and potential without surgery. We take the time needed to accurately pinpoint the source of an ailment. We design a treatment plan that can be carried out by the patients themselves or with the help of the rehabilitation physician’s medical team. This medical team might include other physicians and health professionals and specialists including, neurologists, orthopedic surgeons, orthotists, physical/occupational/speech therapists.

THE BEST CARE... NON-SURGICAL OPTIONS
Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (PM&R), Rehabilitation Medicine, and Rehabilitative Medicine are all terms used to describe what a physiatrist does.
A physiatrist, pronounced fizz ee at' trist or fizz i’ a trist, is a physician who has received specialized training in physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R). PM&R, or physiatry, is the branch of medicine emphasizing the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of disorders which can include, Neuro-Musculo-Skeletal and psychologic components that produce temporary or permanent functional impairment.
Physiatry is unique among medical fields in that its area of expertise addresses the function of the whole patient, as compared with a focus on an organ system or systems. Suffering an acute injury or living with chronic illness can affect the way people move and communicate, and their role in the home and workplace. Physiatry is about patient-centered care and maximizing independence and mobility with the goal of returning patients to their role in society.
PM&R physicians are medical doctors who have completed training in the specialty of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R), and may be subspecialty certified in Brain Injury Medicine, Hospice and Palliative Medicine, Neuromuscular Medicine, Pain Medicine, Pediatric Rehabilitation Medicine, Spinal Cord Injury Medicine, and/or Sports Medicine.
We treat both Pediatric and Adult patients. No patient is ever too young or too old for evaluation and treatment. We are referred patients from hospitals, primary care/pediatric physicians, therapists and other specialist physicians. We always appreciate patient referrals.
We accept medical referrals from physicians, hospitals and health centers as well as patient referrals
We are in network with most insurance plans. Please call your insurance company to confirm we are a network provider. Not covered by any of these plans? Contact us and we will find the best solution to suit you.
