Garcia Medical Center offers specialty care for the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of individuals who have bone, muscle, and nerve injuries and diseases through a focus on the body as a whole. For movement problems and pain, a physiatrist is often a great resource to diagnose and create a plan of action for the root cause of the problem.
Physiatrists often work with conditions such as:
- Back and neck pain
- Musculoskeletal disorders
- Joint replacements
- Pain following trauma and surgery
- Cardiac disorders
- Strokes
- Multiple Sclerosis
- ALS
- … and more.
Physiatrists focus on non-surgical treatments for a problem, such as pain medications, steroid injections, remedial exercises, stretching, and more. Each treatment is specific to the needs of the individual. For more information about physiatry at Garcia Medical, contact our office today.
