Secret's out.
Part of being a physiatrist is continuously explaining what a physiatrist is.
We are doctors that focus on:
๐ฉผ physical effects of disease
๐ optimizing function
โฟ๏ธ injuries and impairments, both temporary (sports, pain) and permanent (SCI, TBI, CP)
Thank you to @HenryBushnell for sharing this story about Tristan and his recovery.
Proud to be a PM&R sports medicine physician and for the opportunity to work with @ussoccer_ENT.
