Physiatry Assessment
Physiatry Assessment is a medical evaluation conducted by a physiatrist. This assessment focuses on diagnosing and treating physical impairments, pain, and functional limitations resulting from injury or illness.
​
The physiatrist conducts a physical exam, reviews medical history and imaging, and may assess mobility, muscle strength, coordination, and nerve function. The goal is to create a non-surgical treatment plan that may include medications, physical therapy, assistive devices, or interventional pain management.
When is a Physiatry Assessment needed?
This assessment is valuable for individuals who:
-
Are recovering from orthopedic or neurological injuries,
-
Experience chronic pain, weakness, or physical disability,
-
Require a coordinated rehabilitation plan after an accident,
-
Have spinal cord injuries, brain injuries, or joint problems,
-
