What treatments are recommended by physiatrists?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Non-surgical: Physiatrists are physicians who have advanced training in physical medicine and rehabilitation. They treat injuries or other conditions where rehabilitation is the main goal of treatment; they have all non-surgical modalities available to them.

No: Physiatrists are physicians that go to medical school for 4 years and residency for 4 years just like any other physician. A physiatrist or specialist in physical medicine and rehabilitation specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of nerve, muscle, and bone disorders with the goal of decreasing pain and improving function.
