Physical Medicine doctors-

[Guest guest]

,

A Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation doctor, or a Physiatrist, is

either an MD or a DO, depending on which they decide to pursue. They

are able to prescribe medications, however, their specialty lies in

developing rehab programs tailored to the specific patient, helping

them regain functionality and hopefully improving their quality of

life. The one I saw was an MD, but I was only sent to him for

diagnostic purposes. The kind of doctor they are most similar to are

occupational medicine doctors.

Hope this helps some!
