PM&R

PM&R, or Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, is a medical specialty focused on enhancing and restoring physical function and quality of life for individuals with injuries, disabilities, or chronic conditions. Specialists, known as physiatrists, develop personalized treatment plans that may include therapies like physical, occupational, and pain management techniques. The goal is to optimize mobility, strength, and independence, helping patients recover from illness, injury, or surgery, and manage long-term health challenges. PM&R aims to restore maximum function, allowing individuals to participate fully in daily activities.
