Overview
Our vision and mission are not only to provide hospital-based rehabilitation but also offer community-based rehabilitation to those in need. The department provides an integrated team-based approach which aims to enhance and restore functional ability and quality of life to those with physical impairment or disability. It consists of a team of Physiatrist doctors working closely with Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, Psychologists, Social Workers, Rehabilitation Nurses, Speech Therapists, Orthotists and Prosthetists for the overall improvement of the function and quality of life of our patients.
Rehabilitation goals set by the Physiatrists are carried out by the rehabilitation team for patients once their acute problems are settled along with timely evaluation and follow up.We have a well-experienced team driven by compassion. We cater not only to physical problems but also to the emotional and spiritual needs of a patient.

FAQ
Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation is a branch of medicine that is dedicated to the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of all types of disabilities related to the brain, nerves, bones and muscles. It takes a holistic, multi-faceted approach to care that focuses on how a patient's medical condition affects every aspect of their life, including their role in the workplace, home and everyday activities. The goal is to maximize physical functioning, greatly decrease or eliminate pain, foster independence, and improve the quality of life for those suffering with a disability, chronic pain and physical impairments.

Physical medicine and rehabilitation physicians — also known as physiatrists — emphasize prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of people disabled by disease, disorder or injury.
Goals of a physiatrist include:
-
Maximize independence with daily living activities
-
Decrease pain
-
Enhance performance/functionality to improve quality of life without surgical intervention
Like other physicians, physical medicine and rehabilitation providers also prescribe medications for many issues, including muscle and nerve problems, attention and memory problems, and pain. Physical medicine and rehabilitation physicians also prescribe braces or splints to improve functionality along with other medical aids, including canes and walkers to enhance safety. Physical medicine and rehabilitation specialists are trained to utilize laboratory testing, X-rays, MRI or CT scans, electromyography (EMG), nerve conduction studies and psychological testing.
