It encompasses nonsurgical treatment of musculoskeletal, neurological, and other conditions that impact movement and daily activities.

If you experience chronic pain, a recent injury, or difficulty with movement, a physiatrist can evaluate the source of your pain and help determine the best path forward, focusing on minimally invasive treatments.

While physical therapy focuses on specific exercises and therapies, physiatrists oversee the entire rehabilitation process, combining medical interventions with therapy for the best possible outcome.

No. Gaylord physiatrists administer non-surgical treatment methods and help treat the source of a patient’s pain without the use of prescription opioid medication.
