Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation

For those living with temporary or long-term disability, Physiatry is a medical specialty that helps improve quality of life. Conditions that can be helped with physiatry include spinal cord injuries, chronic back pain, neuromuscular medicine, brain injury rehabilitation, and stroke recovery. Physiatry is also called Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation or PM&R.

Our physiatrists are pain experts who see patients of all ages. Patients may live with a wide range of pain problems such as muscle weakness, nerve dysfunction, and day-to-day fatigue. Experiencing these types of pain tend to make it more difficult to function at home, work, or during activities. Physiatry not only refers to the use of tools of medicine for pain management, but also uses physical agents and therapeutic exercise in the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of disorders that cause pain or impairment.

We specialize in treating the symptoms of musculoskeletal and spine pain. The goal of pain management at Ogden Clinic is always to restore normal function and improve quality of life.
