Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation

Vital Healthcare Solutions' Division of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R), also known as physiatry, is a medical specialty dedicated to the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of individuals affected by disease, disorder, or injury. As one of the newer subspecialties in medicine, PM&R addresses a wide range of conditions related to the nervous and musculoskeletal systems, with a strong emphasis on enhancing function, independence, and overall quality of life.

Physiatry offers integrated, multidisciplinary care that focuses on the comprehensive recovery of the individual by addressing their physical, emotional, medical, vocational, and social needs. This specialty is distinct in its holistic approach, concentrating on the overall functioning of the patient rather than solely on specific organ systems.
