Why physical medicine and rehabilitation?
Physical medicine and rehabilitation is a medical speciality dedicated to restoring optimal function for people with injuries or illnesses. Such physicians, also called physiatrists, are specialists in diagnosing and treating problems of the musculoskeletal system. Physiatrists offer a non surgical approach to pain and injury, which makes them the ideal choice for handling pain.
After completing medical school, a physician becomes a physiatrist after completing an accredited four-year residency program in physical medicine and rehabilitation. Many physiatrists also go on to become board certified in the specialty by passing a series of exams.
With this advanced training, physiatrists are expert in examining all aspects of pain - they may determine that there are underlying problems in other parts of your body that are causing your pain. Most important, physiatrists have many treatment methods available to reduce and eliminate your problems and to decrease the possibility of recurrence.
They conduct a thorough exam and collect your medical history to identify the source of your pain, injury or disability, even when standard diagnostic tests don't find specific problems. In addition, physiatrists direct your treatment team if you need any other services, such as those of a physical therapist or athletic trainer. The result is a customized treatment program tailored for you.
By evaluating the impact of a condition on the whole person - medically, socially, emotionally - physiatrists help patients understand and take control of their health.
The physical medicine and rehabilitation approach emphasizes comprehensive care.
Physiatry is a specialty of medicine recognized since 1947 by the American Board of Medical Specialties.
