As Rehabilitation Physicians, we are focused on treating the entire person to improve their quality of life. Perhaps you are having difficulty working or cant go to your grandchilds game because of your pain. Maybe you are unable to do grocery shopping or are worried about crossing large streets because you are afraid of falling.
Your doctor may refer you to see us if you have pain or weakness that is interfering with your daily life. We treat people who have pain, such as in their back, neck, knee, hip, or shoulder before or after surgery. We also treat people with injuries on their jobs, those with weakness from a stroke or some nerve injury, and even those who have had amputations or spinal cord injuries. In essence, we do our best to help those who are not enjoying the quality of their lives because of pain or significant limitations in their daily functioning.
