Physiatry, or physical medicine and rehabilitation, is a branch of medicine that focuses on diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the musculoskeletal and nervous systems. Physiatry involves finding treatments other than surgery to help you feel better.

Physiatrists – also called PM&R doctors – are physicians who treat conditions of the bones, muscles, joints, brain, and nervous system. collaborate with therapists and other specialists to provide comprehensive, non-surgical solutions that restore strength, mobility, and independence.
