Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between pediatric physical medicine and rehabilitation and rehabilitation therapy?
A:听A physiatrist is a medical doctor (MD or DO) who has completed specialized training in pediatrics and in physical medicine and rehabilitation (PMR). A physiatrist can diagnose and treat conditions associated with functional limitations and disabilities, and prescribes medications and rehabilitation services such as physical, occupational, and speech therapies. Pediatric physiatrists work with 人妻中出视频ren and their families to create care goal-directed care plans.
Rehabilitation therapies typically include the services of physical therapy (PT) to promote strength, coordination and mobility; occupational therapy (OT) to address fine motor skills and self-care activities, and speech-language therapy (SLP) to address language, communication and cognition. These therapists deliver treatments under the direction of medical doctors. There are, however, areas of overlap; for example, OT and SLP partner to provide feeding therapies, and PT and OT collaborate in choosing adaptive devices such as wheelchairs to promote function and mobility.
Q: I think my 人妻中出视频 needs Botulinum Toxin injections, how do I schedule with a physiatrist?
A:听Your 人妻中出视频's primary care or other healthcare provider can make a referral to a physiatrist for an assessment of his/her spasticity and to design an overall plan of care, which may include rehabilitation therapies, botulinum or other injections, systemic medications, surgeries or a combination of approaches. 听
