Physiatrists: The Non-Surgical Specialists

Physicians who specialize in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (PM&R) are also known as Physiatrists. Physiatrists have advanced training in the diagnosis and treatment of non-surgical orthopedic solutions for musculoskeletal injuries. The physiatrist can diagnose, treat, and direct a rehabilitation plan that provides the best possible outcomes for these patients. The PM&R physicians at Performance Ortho focus on helping the patient become as functional and pain-free as possible in order to participate in and enjoy life to the fullest.

PM&R physicians have also received advanced training and are credentialed in musculoskeletal ultrasound and electromyography and nerve conduction velocity testing (EMG/NCV) .
