What do Neuromuscular Medicine Physical Physiatrists do?
Neuromuscular medicine physiatrists (PM&R doctors) diagnose and treat neuromuscular conditions such as ALS, muscular dystrophy, and myasthenia gravis, using electrodiagnostic and other specialized tests.
They develop customized, team-based treatment plans involving therapies, medications, injections, and rehabilitation to improve function, mobility, and quality of life for patients with nerve and muscle disorders.
What they do
Diagnose and Treat: They identify and manage disorders of the brain, spinal cord, nerves, muscles, and bones, with a focus on neuromuscular diseases.
Use Electrodiagnostic Tests: These tests, such as electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies, evaluate nerve and muscle function and diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome and pinched nerves.
Develop Treatment Plans: They create personalized, interdisciplinary treatment programs that may include:
- Medications: To manage pain or underlying conditions.
- Injections, such as nerve blocks or joint injections, are used to relieve pain and inflammation.
- Therapies: Physical, occupational, and speech therapies to restore function and improve daily activities.
- Rehabilitation: Strategies to help patients adapt to and manage significant physical impairments.
- Assistive Devices: Recommending and helping to integrate equipment like wheelchairs and splints.
Manage Chronic Conditions: They address conditions like chronic back pain, stroke, and brain injuries that cause functional limitations.
Collaborate with Teams: They work with a team of other health professionals to provide holistic care and guide patients toward their functional goals.
Conditions they treat
Neuromuscular conditions include: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Peripheral neuropathies, Muscular dystrophies and myopathies, Myasthenia gravis, and Neuromuscular transmission disorders.
