Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation
Whether an accident, injury, or chronic condition has left you with pain or limited function or you’re recovering from a stroke or other nerve damage, consider consulting with Faith Regional’s Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation physician in Norfolk, Nebraska.
Physical medicine and rehabilitation physicians, or physiatrists, use a non-surgical approach to treat a wide variety of medical conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord, nerves, bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, and tendons. Looking at the big picture, their special training enables physiatrists to look at the total body, rather than just one area. Their goal is to help you restore function and movement while reducing or eliminating pain improving your overall quality of life.
