Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation specialists (“physiatrists”) often evaluate and manage patients with joint or back pain, spasticity, sports injuries, stroke, traumatic brain injury and amputations. Often, we utilize medications, therapies, and cutting edge non-surgical interventions such as pain procedures or joint injections. If you are a prospective patient please call to learn more about our service or to set up an appointment with one of our physicians.
