The goal of physical medicine and rehabilitation is to help people regain control of their lives by restoring movement and function.
The Department of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation at Mayo Clinic in Florida provides care to inpatients and outpatients. In addition to a sports medicine clinic, the department offers services in conjunction with other Mayo specialists for chronic pain, movement problems, various nervous system conditions and rehabilitation following trauma or surgery.
The department's physiatrists, as physicians in this specialty are called, are board-certified.
