Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Services in Greater Philadelphia

Our Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Services

The goal of PM&R is multifaceted: reducing pain, improving mobility, enhancing strength and flexibility, and ultimately helping patients achieve their highest level of independent function. No matter if you’re recovering from injury, managing chronic pain, or dealing with age-related conditions, our rehabilitation services can help you regain control of your life.

When you speak with our physiatrists, we listen to you explain not only your physical symptoms but also how they impact your daily activities, work performance, and quality of life. We then conduct detailed assessments to develop personalized and targeted treatment plans that restore function and prevent further injury. With our range of comprehensive solutions, we will help you return to your daily activities as quickly and safely as possible — all without surgery.

Bracing

Our team may recommend custom or prefabricated braces to support weak joints, limit painful motion, and aid recovery after an injury or during rehabilitation. By reducing strain on injured tissues, the bracing helps speed up healing and prevent further damage.

Casting

In cases where immobilization is needed — such as with a fractured bone or a soft tissue injury — we will use casting. On the day of your appointment, your physical medicine specialist will apply the cast so that it provides the necessary support while your body heals naturally.

Medication

Carefully prescribed medications are often an essential component of non-surgical pain management. Depending on your diagnosis, we may recommend prescription medications that reduce inflammation, manage nerve pain, or relieve muscle spasms. Our goal is to use medications judiciously and in combination with other therapies for maximum effectiveness.

Injections

Precision-guided injections deliver powerful anti-inflammatory medication directly to problem areas, providing targeted relief that oral medications cannot achieve. Our physical medicine and rehabilitation team offers a variety of injection therapies, such as corticosteroid injections, to reduce inflammation and relieve pain at the source. Patients with conditions like bursitis, tendinitis, or arthritis often experience remarkable improvement following these minimally invasive procedures.

Regenerative Medicine

Regenerative medicine therapies, including platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and stem cell injections, are designed to promote natural tissue repair. These cutting-edge treatments have shown promise in managing chronic pain and injuries, offering patients a progressive option for rehabilitation services in Greater Philadelphia.

Interventional Spine Medicine

Neck and back pain can be particularly debilitating. Thankfully, our spinal services include minimally invasive procedures, such as epidural steroid injections and nerve blocks, to alleviate pain and improve function. Whether you’re dealing with a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, facet joint syndrome, or another condition, the non-surgical procedures can help you get back to doing what you love.

Concussion Therapy

Concussions can affect more than just athletes. If you or a loved one suffers a concussion, our specialized concussion therapy can aid recovery and reduce the risk of long-term complications.

Pediatric Physical Therapy

Young patients deserve expert care, too. Our pediatric physical medicine and rehabilitation services are tailored to meet the developmental needs of children recovering from injuries, managing congenital conditions, or dealing with musculoskeletal disorders. Our compassionate team creates fun, engaging programs to help kids regain strength and mobility while boosting their confidence.

Pair PM&R With Physical Therapy

Physical therapy (PT) can also aid in the healing process when prescribed with therapies such as medication and exercise or activity cessation. Therefore, while our physiatrists focus on diagnosing your condition and providing non-surgical pain management solutions, our physical therapists help you regain strength, flexibility, and endurance through personalized exercise programs. As a cohesive team, we will help you move more freely and confidently.
