Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R), also known as physiatry, is a medical specialty focused on enhancing and restoring functional ability and quality of life for individuals with physical impairments or disabilities. This field addresses a wide range of conditions, including those resulting from injury, illness, or chronic pain, using a holistic approach that emphasizes the patient's overall well-being. Physiatrists, the doctors specializing in PM&R, work with a team of healthcare professionals to create personalized treatment plans. These plans may include physical therapy, occupational therapy, and pain management techniques, aiming to improve mobility, strength, and daily functioning for patients of all ages.
