What is a Physiatrist? And what types of treatments do they offer?

The doctors at Physiatry.com talk about some of the common misconceptions people have about the specialty. When should you see a physiatrist? If you're feeling pain from an injury or wear and tear, work with a physiatrist to develop a personalized treatment plan.

. I fell at home, in 1992. I developed compartment syndrome of my left leg.. I almost lost my leg. Had a fasciotomy, it's been a long road. But if it wasn't for the wonderful physiatrist who saw me I would have lost my leg. I now live with severe RSD, have had 5 more surgeries, but grateful I am here. .THANK YOU for making this available for the next generation! Hopefully they. Will not be called crazy, or asked why are you doing this to yourself.if. making feel like I'm the one a fault. Keep posting this wonderful information

I’m here after watching Tom Cruises heated interview

[@victorvictorfitness7537]

Basically they are a glorified physical therapist if I’m not mistaken

[@scarred10]

Completely incorrect,they dont do any physical therapy themselves but may refer to one.They dont offer hands on treatment.

[@Idk._.328]

So basically they are a glorified physical therapist lol
Give me a break
They didn't show one MRI machine in that damn money grab of an office

[@rozennbergfridi9206]

Lol no. Its a mix between neuro, ortho and anestesiology. Its actually very good specialty

[@scarred10]

They order mri but wouldnt have one in an office you idiot,its a million dollar machine

[@fordlandau]

Huh ? No such thing in any part of the world except the USA.

[@fordlandau]

Well Mexico too then. Apologies.

[@NOStradamus603]

Canada

[@stafflogenio]

Not true at all. Physiatrist are present in more than 70 countries all over the world.

[@the-chipette]

Physiatrists are MDs or DOs - very small subspecialists

[@fordlandau]

chipette yes. And a really useless branch of medicine. Rehab socialised Drs Physios, OTs Registered nurses can do this work well. Only in America would there be such a useless medical degree. Just like Doctors who get a degree from Osteos. The rest of the world does not acknowledge these qualifications.
