What is Physiatry?

Physiatry, or Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R), is a specialized field of medicine focused on overcoming barriers to therapy and helping patients achieve their functional goals. Our skilled physiatry team excels in diagnosing and managing conditions affecting the muscles, bones, nerves, and mobility, with a strong emphasis on pain management and restoring independence. We are dedicated to improving quality of life by providing comprehensive care tailored to each patient’s unique needs.

Physiatrists play a crucial role in helping residents of skilled nursing facilities regain optimal function and improve their quality of life. With a holistic, patient-centered approach, physiatrists care for individuals recovering from injury or living with physical and cognitive impairments. Working collaboratively with a multidisciplinary team, including physical, occupational, and speech therapists, they create customized treatment plans designed to meet each patient’s unique needs.

These plans may include:
