Physiatry Clinic in Toronto Covered by OHIP

What is Physiatry?

Physiatry is a medical specialty that aids people in the journey to recovering from pain, injury, or the body’s functional limitations.

A physiatrist in Toronto is a medical doctor who is certified in physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM & R). These clinicians apply various non-invasive treatment options to heal musculoskeletal and neuromuscular conditions. They also work with patients to diagnose any issues that prohibit the normal functioning of the brain, bones, nerves, muscles, ligaments, or tendons with the goal of improving movement and daily function.

Instead of jumping straight to surgery, physiatrists look at non-surgical ways to reduce pain and restore mobility. This can include guided rehabilitation, medication management, joint injections or any clinical treatments in coordination with other health professionals.

At our Pain relief clinic in Toronto, we treat various kinds of physical and mental pain. Our expert team of physiatrists Toronto helps people across the GTA while they are going through the journey to get back to a normal life after a stroke or brain injury, prolonged illness with chronic pain from a sports injury, or after an operation.
