Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (PM&R), also known as physiatry, is a medical specialty focused on restoring and enhancing functional ability and quality of life for individuals with long term problems like chronic pains, physical impairments or disabilities. It addresses a wide range of conditions affecting the nerves, bones, joints, ligaments, muscles and tendons. PM&R specialists, or physiatrists, employ a variety of approaches that are compatible with specialty medical care, including therapeutic exercises, manual treatments, and functional training, to help patients regain lost function and improve their overall well-being.
Your PM&R specialist often involves other specialists when needed, including doctors of other specialties, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, psychologists, social workers, massage therapists and other healthcare professionals working collaboratively to address a patient’s individual needs.
The focus of PM&R is on FUNCTION, i.e., aiming to improve or restore functional ability in areas like movement and activities of daily living. In other words we aim to improve quality of life by reducing pain, increasing strength, increasing flexibility and mobility in general.
