St. Peter’s Health physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R) specialists are physicians who focus on improving function, reducing pain, and helping patients return to daily activities after injury, illness, or surgery.
PM&R providers evaluate the full picture of your condition and develop personalized, non-surgical care plans. As part of your care, your provider may recommend physical or occupational therapy and will work closely with those teams to guide your recovery.
