Physiatrists are nerve, muscle, and bone experts who treat injuries or illnesses that affect how a person moves and functions. Their focus is on diagnosing, treating, preventing and mitigating the effects of illnesses that cause disability. The physiatrist, sometimes referred to as a muscle doctor or bone doctor, promotes quality of life by restoring/improving function which has been limited by disease, trauma, congenital disorders or pain. The physiatrist's goal is to return patients to their former medical, social, emotional and occupational states - that is, to put the pieces of a person's life back together - without surgery. The physiatrist manages persons of all ages with mild to severe physical and/or cognitive impairment and disability - conditions related to the brain, muscles, and bones, spanning from traumatic brain injury to lower back pain.
We look forward to serving you and your healthcare needs and those of your family. We have a reputation for compassionate care, patient-centered service and successful outcome.
