Physiatry, also known as physical medicine and rehabilitation, is a medical specialty focused on diagnosing and treating conditions that affect the body's movement and function. Physiatrists work with patients recovering from injuries, surgeries, or illnesses, aiming to improve their quality of life through rehabilitation techniques and therapies. Treatment in physiatry often involves a multidisciplinary approach, incorporating physical therapy, occupational therapy, and pain management strategies. Physiatrists may also collaborate with other healthcare professionals to create personalized rehabilitation plans, helping patients regain strength, mobility, and independence after events such as strokes, spinal cord injuries, or sports injuries.
