Company Overview
“Physicians specializing in the field of physical medicine and rehabilitation (also known as physiatrists and rehabilitation physicians), through their education and training, are uniquely qualified to evaluate and treat persons who have suffered catastrophic illness or injuries for whom life care plans are most often developed. According to the American Board of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, physicians in the field focus on restoring “functions in persons whose abilities have been limited by disease, trauma, congenital disorders, or pain to achieve their maximum functional abilities.”
