Physiatry
University Orthopedic Care is proud to offer physiatry as one of our key services. This specialized field of medicine focuses primarily on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of diseases or conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system. Physiatry, also known as Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R), takes a holistic approach to patient care, considering the individual's physical, emotional, and social needs. It is unique in its emphasis on improving the patient's functional abilities through a variety of non-surgical treatments.
Our skilled team of physiatrists and orthopedic specialists is committed to providing the highest-quality care, working closely with each patient to develop an individualized treatment plan. We assess each patient's unique situation and goals, tailoring our approach to ensure optimal results. By integrating physiatry into our services, we can offer our patients comprehensive care that promotes overall wellness and quality of life. We believe in empowering our patients helping them navigate their health journey with confidence and comfort.
Conditions Treated
Physiatrists treat the same conditions that orthopedic specialists do, in addition to movement disorders and conditions affecting the brain and nervous system. Common conditions that our providers treat include but are not limited to:
- Amputation
- Brain injury
- Movement disorders
- Multiple sclerosis
- Osteoarthritis
- Parkinson’s disease
- Spinal cord injury
- Spine pain
- Sports-related injuries
- Stroke
The list above is by no means comprehensive, meaning that there is a long list of other conditions that our doctors are happy to treat.
The Physiatry Approach
Physiatry is a technique that addresses more than just the symptoms you may be experiencing – it addresses you as a whole individual to ensure you receive the highest-quality care for your condition. Our physiatry approach entails non-surgical treatments in addition to a multidisciplinary approach, ensuring you get comprehensive coverage for your condition regardless of how complex your case may be.
Whenever possible, the doctors at University Orthopedic Center try to avoid invasive surgical procedures and opt for non-surgical orthopedic treatments. These treatments allow our patients to get the full spectrum care they need for their conditions without the downtime and recovery required for a surgical procedure. This approach is part of our comprehensive care plan, which ensures patients get the care they need for their condition from diagnosis through rehabilitation and beyond.
When it comes to your care, you want the peace of mind that you are seeing the very best specialty provider for each of your individual concerns. At University Orthopedic Care, we treat our patients as a whole – taking into account each aspect of their lives rather than just their symptoms. Our multispecialty physicians and providers work hand-in-hand to provide patients with the highest-quality care for each of their concerns, addressing their condition as a whole.
