About Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation

Our doctors do a complete history and clinical assessment to determine your child’s physical and rehabilitation needs. We may also order additional studies like MRI, Xray, or Electro-diagnostic evaluation (EMG and Nerve Conduction Studies). We also prescribe medical and rehabilitation interventions, including medication, injections, therapy, medical equipment and orthotics. Our goal is to improve your child’s development and daily function, from bathing and dressing to communication and mobility.

We treat children with disability from all causes, including:

  • Cerebral Palsy
  • Spasticity
  • Brain Injury
  • Nerve Injury
  • Spinal Cord Injury
  • Neuromuscular Disorders
  • Spina Bifida
  • Amputation
  • Cancer
  • Chronic pain
