Physiatrist and PM&R Physician Business Cards for Rehabilitation Medicine

Physiatrists — physicians who specialize in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) — are the medical doctors who diagnose and treat conditions affecting the physical and cognitive function of patients disabled by injury, illness, or neurological disease. Physiatry bridges the gap between acute medical care and recovery: physiatrists lead inpatient rehabilitation teams managing stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and spinal cord injury; run outpatient spine and musculoskeletal clinics; manage chronic pain; and perform a wide range of interventional procedures (EMG, nerve blocks, spinal injections) that diagnose and treat functional impairment.
