Physiatry Defined

A Physiatrist is a physician specializing in physical medicine and rehabilitation. Physiatry was developed in the 1930s and was approved as a specialty of medicine in 1947. In the hospital setting a physiatrist may act as a consultant or lead an interdisciplinary team on a rehabilitation ward to help someone with a disabling problem such as a stroke or multiple sclerosis. In the outpatient setting the physiatrist addresses such problems as back pain, rotator cuff tear, carpal tunnel syndrome, and whiplash.
In developing a treatment plan the physiatrist might order laboratory work, imaging studies, or perform electromyelogram, muscular ultrasound, and nerve conduction velocity studies. The treatment plan might include physical therapy, therapeutic exercise, massage, counseling, injections, or medication.
Many physiatrists enjoy a broad practice, but others sub-specialize in such areas as pain management, sports medicine, pediatric rehabilitation, or spinal cord injury. Physiatrists are involved in the management of a broad-spectrum of medical problems with the underlying goals of restoring function, improving quality of life, and preventing future injury.
We serve all populations in need of physiatry services.

As a group Northwest Physiatry Associates holds board certifications or eligibility in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and Electrodiagnosis.
