Why Choose A Physiatrist

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.

Because physiatrists offer an aggressive, non-surgical approach to pain and injury, these physicians are the ideal choice for the treatment of a wide variety of diseases and conditions. Here's a listing of just some of the conditions that physiatrists have extensive training in diagnosing and treating:

• Amputations
• Low back pain
• Neck pain
• Fibromyalgia/Myofascial Pain/Chronic Pain
• Spinal cord injuries
• Brain injuries
• Arthritis
• Cancer
• Burns (information forthcoming)
• Stroke and Neurological Disorders
• Multiple Sclerosis (information forthcoming)
• Cardiac Disorders
• Osteoporosis
• Musculoskeletal Disorders
• Work injuries

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.
