What You Should Know About Neurosurgery & Physiatry

Physiatry, also called physical medicine and rehabilitation, is the only medical specialty that doesn’t focus on a particular part of the body. Physiatrists help treat medical conditions that affect the entire body—arthritis, multiple sclerosis, spine injuries and strokes, for example.

It’s a specialty you – and your spinal cord, nerves, bones, joints, ligaments, muscles and tendons – are guaranteed to appreciate once you learn more about it.
