Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation
Our specialty-trained physical medicine and rehabilitation doctor at BoulderCentre for Orthopedics & Spine is the area's distinguished expert in the diagnosis and treatment of patients' injuries and conditions.
Physical medicine and rehabilitation is an area of medicine that focuses on the nonsurgical management and treatment of musculoskeletal injuries, conditions, and disorders. Physical medicine and rehabilitation specialists, also known as physiatrists, look at the patient as a whole instead of just one part, helping to manage their pain and restore their health and function. A physiatrist does not perform surgery but offers a variety of conservative treatment methods, such as physical therapy, over-the-counter medicines, injections, or different technologies.
