Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Services

Because of injury or illness, many people struggle to perform everyday tasks, an experience that can be frustrating and even painful. Physical medicine is the art of helping you relearn how to use your body, while improving your flexibility, strength and coordination.

Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (PM&R) — also known as physiatry — benefits many patients, including sufferers of multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, back pain, ligament problems, arthritis and Parkinson’s disease.

Our team includes psychologists, physical therapists, occupational therapists and exercise therapists who collaborate with you to restore your quality of life and have you living independently again.
