Physiatry

Physical medicine and rehabilitation, also called physiatry, is the branch of medicine emphasizing the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disorders that may produce temporary or permanent impairment. Physiatry provides integrated care in the treatment of all neurologic and musculoskeletal disabilities from traumatic brain injury to lower back pain. At Confluence Health, we offer both musculoskeletal physiatry and neurological rehabilitation physiatry.

• Our musculoskeletal physiatrists focus on neck/back/joint pain and treatments to help replenish the body to a better state. These physiatrists also staff and support our Spine Clinic to provide quick treatment for back pain.
• Our neuro rehab physiatrists provide a comprehensive treatment approach that addresses the physical, emotional and psychological needs of each patient. Therapists work closely as a team with physicians, specialists and family members to help patients progress toward reaching their goals.
