Well-rounded care
Your physiatrist creates a personalized care plan tailored to your symptoms, lifestyle, and goals. It might include physical therapy, medicine, home exercises, and more.
Preventive care
Build strength, flexibility, and endurance to support your body before treatment or surgery. Preventive care can improve outcomes and reduce the risk of future injury.
Diagnosis
An accurate diagnosis is key to treatment. We use tools like electromyography (EMG) to evaluate nerves and muscles and identify the source of your symptoms.
Post-surgery care
After surgery, your physiatrist helps guide your recovery with therapies that restore movement and reduce pain so you can safely return to your daily activities.
Targeted relief with injections
Injections deliver medicine directly to the source of pain, providing long-lasting relief. Some treatments, such as regenerative medicine therapies, support your body’s natural healing processes.
Steroid injections
Steroid injections combine a local anesthetic with anti-inflammatory medication to reduce swelling and relieve pain. We often use them for back pain, sciatica, and nerve-related conditions.
Platelet-rich plasma
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections use components from your own blood to promote healing in injured joints, tendons, and soft tissues. This treatment may help reduce pain and support recovery.
Image-guided injections
Using ultrasound guidance, your physiatrist delivers injections to the exact treatment area. This approach improves accuracy, effectiveness, and overall outcomes.
