Physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R), also known as physiatry or rehabilitation medicine, aims to enhance and restore functional ability and quality of life to those with physical impairments or disabilities affecting the brain, spinal cord, nerves, bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, and tendons. Unlike other medical specialties that focus on a medical “cure,” the goals of the physiatrist are to maximize patients’ independence in activities of daily living and improve quality of life.
The skilled and experienced physicians at TotalMD plan treatments based on a thorough evaluation of a patient's medical history, neurological reports, X-rays, and laboratory tests. The goal of these examinations is to determine the root cause of pain or discomfort for our patients and design a customized treatment plan that returns the patient to their everyday activity and pain-free lifestyle.
