Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) physicians, also known as physiatrists, treat a wide variety of medical conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord, nerves, bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, and tendons. Physiatrists utilize both cutting‐edge and time‐tested treatments to maximize function and quality of life. Alternative treatment options include minimally-invasive procedures to treat musculoskeletal conditions, sports injuries and spine pain.
