The Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department at Greenwich Hospital offers specialized treatment at two convenient outpatient locations in the Greenwich and Stamford areas. Our team of highly skilled professionals consists of physiatrists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, and speech language pathologists who care for patients with a wide array of medical conditions resulting from injury, disease, and surgery. We will complete a thorough evaluation and will develop an individualized treatment plan to address your challenges and goals.
People who suffer with bone, joint, muscle and nerve problems can often get better without surgery by consulting with a specialist in physical medicine and rehabilitation known as a physiatrist. Physiatrists are medical doctors that treat a wide variety of medical conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord, nerves, bones, joints, ligaments, muscles and tendons. Physiatrists facilitate physiologic adaptation to disability to prevent lifelong complications or future deterioration secondary to disabling conditions. The goal of the physiatrist is to provide non-surgical medical care to maximize a patient’s physical, biological, psychological, social, and vocational potential. A physiatrist should be consulted when pain, weakness, or disability is preventing a patient from achieving an independent lifestyle and/or their full potential.
Physiatrists use a comprehensive approach and a variety of techniques including:
Physical therapists (PTs) treat the full spectrum of musculoskeletal, post-surgical, neurological, gait, balance and pain dysfunctions. PTs work in collaboration with your doctors and other medical providers to deliver a comprehensive approach to maximizing functional outcomes.
