Physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R) physicians or physiatrists are specialists in diagnosing and treating problems of the musculoskeletal system. They take thorough histories and perform physical examinations to find the source of your pain, injury, or disability.

PM&R physicians not only work closely with orthopedic surgeons and neurosurgeons, but also direct the team of healthcare professionals that treat you. If any other services are needed, such as those of a physical therapist or athletic trainer, the PM&R physician supervises, collaborates with, and coordinates them. The result is a specially designed treatment program tailored for you.

The physiatrist works closely with allied health professionals such as physical therapists, occupational therapists, massage therapists workers, psychologists, and acupuncturists. You may be seen by these professionals, along with the physiatrist. The physiatrist and allied health professionals work as a team in coordinating a treatment plan to help you maintain your desired lifestyle and function as independently as possible at home, on the job, and in the community.
