Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, also called physiatry, is a medical specialty focused on restoring function after injury, illness or surgery. A physiatrist is a medical doctor who treats the muscles, bones, joints and nerves without surgery.
Instead of treating one symptom, a PM&R doctor looks at the whole picture: where the pain comes from, how it limits your daily life and what will get you back to work and normal activity. Treatment may combine medication, targeted injections, nerve testing and a rehabilitation program.
Most of our patients come to us after an accident or with pain that has not gone away on its own.

We work with the insurance types that matter most after an injury in New York:
In New York, No-Fault (PIP) insurance covers medical care after a car accident, no matter who caused it.
Injured at work? Your treatment can be covered through your employer’s Workers’ Comp insurance.
Get checked even if you feel fine. Some accident injuries, like whiplash or disc injuries, show symptoms days later. An early medical visit protects both your health and your claim.
Most other insurance plans are also accepted. Call us to verify your coverage.
A physiatrist is a medical doctor (M.D.) who diagnoses your condition, performs procedures such as injections and nerve tests, prescribes medication and leads your rehabilitation plan. A physical therapist provides exercise-based therapy as part of that plan.
