A physician having completed training in this field is referred to as a physiatrist. Unlike other medical specialties that focus on a medical “cure,” the goals of the physiatrist are to maximize patients’ independence in activities of daily living and to improve quality of life. Physiatrists are experts in designing comprehensive, patient-centered treatment plans, as well as utilizing cutting-edge technology and time-tested treatments to maximize function and quality of life for their patients, who can range in age from infants to octogenarians.
