Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) physicians, also known as *physiatrists*, treat a wide variety of medical conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord, nerves, bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, and tendons. They are MDs and can diagnose anything in their respected field of specialization.
Acute and chronic neurological musculoskeletal diseases; regenerative medicines such as hair loss, ED, etc.
A physiatrist can diagnose any musculoskeletal or spine related issue as well as certain nerve related injuries especially when connected with occupational, motor vehicle accident, or sports injuries. There are certain brain disorders that a physiatrist can also diagnose.

I am a medical doctor primarily treating musculoskeletal and neurological diseases, sports, work and other injuries. I also treat patients with pain. Frequent diagnoses I see include neck and back pain, herniated discs, pinched nerves, rotator cuff injuries, osteoarthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, as well as many other conditions.
