About Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation "Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R), also referred to as Physiatry, is a medical specialty concerned with the diagnosis, evaluation, and management of persons of all ages with physical and/or cognitive impairment and disability. This specialty involves the diagnosis and treatment of patients with painful or functional limiting conditions, the management of co-morbidities and co-impairments, diagnosis and therapeutic injection procedures, electrodiagnostic medicine, and an emphasis on prevention of complications of disability from secondary conditions.

Physiatrists are trained in rehabilitation of neurologic disorders, in the diagnosis and management of impairments of the musculoskeletal (including Sports and Occupational related aspects) and other organ systems, and the long-term management of patients with disabling conditions. Physiatrists work with multidisciplinary/interdisciplinary teams concerned with maximal restoration or development of physical, cognitive, psychological, social, spiritual, occupational, and vocational functions in persons whose abilities have been limited by disease, illness, trauma, congenital disorders, or pain, in order to enable those served to achieve their maximum functional abilities."
