Physical medicine is a combination of orthopedics and neurology. It focuses on the neurological side of pain and how to correct it. It’s a functional discipline – getting people back to the way they lived before pain interrupted their quality of life.

In the past, a doctor would take imaging and then tell the patient what was wrong. We like to talk with the patient and do an examination before imaging, and then use the images and electrodiagnosis to ensure that it matches what the patient describes. We get a higher rate of positive outcomes that way.
