Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation

Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R), also known as physiatry, focuses on diagnosing and treating conditions that affect movement and function, often related to pain. In the context of Pain Medicine, PM&R helps individuals manage pain through a comprehensive approach that includes physical therapy, medications, and lifestyle adjustments. The goal is to improve quality of life, restore function, and help individuals regain independence. Physicians in this field work collaboratively with other specialists to create personalized treatment plans aimed at reducing pain and enhancing physical capabilities.
