What Is Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (PM&R)?
Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R), also known as physiatry, is a medical specialty focused on restoring function and improving quality of life for individuals with pain, injuries, or disabilities affecting the muscles, bones, nerves, and joints. PM&R physicians, or physiatrists, specialize in non-surgical treatments for conditions like chronic pain, spine disorders, arthritis, sports injuries, stroke, and nerve injuries. They use a comprehensive approach that may include medications, physical therapy, injections, assistive devices, and rehabilitation programs to help patients regain movement, reduce pain, and enhance daily function.
At Wellspring Clinic, we provide expert PM&R care to help you stay active and independent.
