UK HealthCare Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (PM&R) physicians specialize in helping patients suffering from a wide range of medical issues. They are also known as Physiatrists (pronounced fi h-zee-AT-rists).
Our Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation musculoskeletal physicians specialize in the treatment of cervical, thoracic, lumbar and sacral spinal conditions; peripheral nerve entrapment; repetitive use or overuse disorders; sprains, strains, tendonitis and other soft-tissue injuries. Our musculoskeletal specialists work closely with you and your family to provide a full array of holistic care to help you manage injuries or conditions related to bone, joint and muscle pain that do not require surgery. We can help at the onset of an injury or condition by facilitating initial workup and overseeing and managing appropriate treatment. This treatment may include non-opioid medication management and referral to physical and occupational therapists specially trained to understand your musculoskeletal needs.
If surgery is required, either now or in the future, we work closely with orthopaedic surgeons, neurosurgeons and interventional pain colleagues to ensure high-quality, cohesive care.
