Welcome!
Physiatrists are
specialists in diagnosing and treating problems of the musculoskeletal
system. They perform thorough histories and physical examinations to
find the source of your pain, injury or disability, even when standard
diagnostic tests don't reveal specific problems. In addition,
physiatrists direct your treatment team. If you need any other services,
such as those of a physical therapist or athletic trainer, your
physiatrist supervises, collaborates with and coordinates the other
health care professionals. The result is a specially designed treatment
program tailored for you.
Most importantly,
physiatrists treat the whole patient, not just the patient's symptoms.
Physiatrists share their medical knowledge to help patients understand
their condition and provide the tools and resources to manage it. They
employ a variety of treatment methods to reduce or eliminate your
problems and to decrease the possibility of a recurrence. This
comprehensive approach produces not only cost-effective results, but
also a high degree of patient satisfaction.
Through integrated
focused care and comprehensive diagnosis and treatment, physiatrists add
quality to the lives of millions of patients each year. Our goal is to
restore functionality to your life so that you can enjoy your daily
activities.
