Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine

Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine (PRM), also known as physiatry, is a medical specialty focused on helping people recover and regain function after injuries, illnesses, or disabilities. It involves diagnosing, treating, and managing conditions affecting muscles, bones, and nervous systems, aiming to improve mobility, strength, and independence. PRM physicians create personalized rehabilitation plans that may include therapies, medications, and assistive devices. Their goal is to enhance quality of life by restoring as much function as possible and helping patients return to daily activities, work, or sports.
