Specialists In Physical Medicine And Rehabilitation

Physiatry, otherwise known as physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R), is the medical specialty dedicated to treating illness or injury that affects how we move. Our goal is to restore maximum function lost through injury, illness, or disabling conditions by treating the whole person, not just a condition. Conditions may include brain injury, stroke, back pain, sports injury, workplace injury, spinal cord injury, neck pain, or arthritis.

Our physiatrists use techniques ranging from detailed medical histories to EMGs/nerve conduction studies to diagnose medical conditions.

Depending on the diagnosis, treatment options can include:

• Medication
• Rehabilitation 
• Injection treatments for tendonitis, plantar fascitis, carpal tunnel, tennis elbow, and other conditions
• Nerve blocks
• Electrotherapies
• EMG
• Assistive devices  
• Heat and cold therapies
• Botox for spasticity
• Acupuncture  

Appointment No-Shows and Late Arrivals-It is the policy of Regional West Physicians Clinic to monitor and manage appointment no-shows and late appointments. Any patient who arrives 15 minutes after their scheduled appointment time is considered late for his or her appointment. Regional West Physicians Clinic will make reasonable efforts to accommodate the patient within the patient session or to reschedule the patient at the earliest possible time, based on the nature of the presenting reason for the visit and the patient’s wishes.
