Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation: PM&R physicians are known as Physiatrists who are specialists trained in restoring function to the patient. Their non-surgical approach works to restore or maximize the functional skills, mobility, strength, and self-sufficiency of patients who have either temporary or permanent disability.
These disabilities may range from minor sports injuries to more complex conditions such as the effect of stroke, cancer (lymphedema), degenerative joint disease, carpal tunnel syndrome, spinal disc herniation and various other muscloskeletal conditions.
A PM&R physician education consists of four years of medical school followed by and additional four years of hospital based residency program. The diagnostic tools used by a PM&R physician are similar to those found in other medical specialties; history & examination, x-ray, MRI and electrodiagnostic testing (EMG/NCV) which measures electrical activity of the nerve/muscle.
