What Is Physical Medicine?
Physical Medicine (also known as Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation or PM&R) focuses on treating pain and dysfunction affecting the:
- Spine
- Joints
- Muscles
- Ligaments and tendons
- Nervous system
Rather than masking symptoms with medication or rushing into surgery, physical medicine looks at how your body moves as a whole and identifies the underlying causes of pain and limitation.
At S.I.M.S., we begin with a thorough evaluation to understand:
- Where your pain is coming from
- How your injury or condition developed
- What structures are involved
- How your movement patterns may be contributing
From there, we create a customized treatment plan designed to promote healing and long-term relief.
