Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation

If an injury or illness makes it difficult for you to move, we can help you regain independence. Our specialized doctors (known as physiatrists) diagnose and treat conditions related to the brain, nerves, bones and muscles. We focus on how you function as a whole person—considering all aspects of your life. And, we offer non-surgical treatments to help you enjoy life as fully as possible.
