Physical
Medicine & Rehabilitation/Pain Management
Physiatry is the medical specialty of Physical Medicine
& Rehabilitation. Physiatrists (fizz-eye'-uh-trists
or fizz-ee-a'-trists) are specialists in diagnosing
and treating acute and chronic pain conditions of the
musculoskeletal system, even when standard diagnostic
tests do not reveal the source of the problem. The Physiatrist
offers a comprehensive, non-surgical approach to pain
and injury. They direct the treatment plan and coordinate
care with physical therapists and other health care
professionals. The result is an individually designed
treatment plan tailored to the patient's specific condition.
Medical Acupuncture is the clinical discipline of

promote relaxation, and improve function.
