Rehabilitation Medicine
Rehabilitation physicians, or physiatrists, are medical doctors who have completed specialized training in the field of physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R). These nerve, muscle and bone experts treat a wide variety of conditions that impact how you move. They work to enhance and restore functional ability and quality of life for those with short- or long-term physical impairments, injuries or disabilities affecting the brain, spinal cord, nerves, bones, joints, ligaments, muscles or tendons. Their goal is to decrease pain and enhance mobility without surgery.

“Dr. Boucher took great care of me during painful tests. Afterwards, he took ample time to answer all of my questions and gave me clear information.

“Dr. Ziske was simply amazing. She took the time to understand my issue and to ensure I understood everything that she was saying, as well as answered all my questions. I’m so elated I was able to have my first appt be with Dr Ziske. Thank you!“

Treatment Focused on Restoring Your Quality
of Life
Unlike other medical specialties that focus on a medical “cure,” the goals of PM&R physicians are to maximize a patient’s independence in daily living activities and to improve their quality of life. The focus of rehabilitation medicine is the development of a comprehensive program for putting the pieces of a person’s life back together after injury or disease.
Injuries and conditions affect each person differently, so we will work with you to tailor a program that will help restore your strength and mobility in day-to-day activities. Common procedures used in rehabilitation include EMG studies, botox injections (after stroke, head trauma, spinal cord injury or cervical dystonia) and prolotherapy, also known as regenerative injection therapy.
