Physiatry, also known as physical medicine and rehabilitation, takes a non-surgical approach to treating musculoskeletal problems, which is why physiatrists are often called non-operative spine specialists. By using physical therapy, exercise and pain management, physiatry has helped many people who suffer from injuries and chronic/acute pain to return to fully functioning lives.
