New Patient Questionnaire
Please fill out the pain questionnaire and bring it with you to your first appointment.
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. By taking the whole body into account, they can accurately pinpoint problems and enhance performance without surgery.
PM&R physicians evaluate and treat patients with short- or long-term physical and/or cognitive impairments and disabilities that result from musculoskeletal conditions (neck or back pain, or sports or work injuries), neurological conditions (stroke, brain injury, or spinal cord injury), or medical other conditions. Their goal is to decrease pain and enhance performance without surgery.
When to See a PM&R Physician
