Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) specialists are also called Physiatrists. Physiatrists strive to improve the quality of patients' lives by improving function. Using non-operative treatments, pain management and exercise-based rehabilitation these specialists treat various musculoskeletal (muscles and bones), cardiovascular (heart and blood vessels), pulmonary (lungs and breathing), and neurological (nervous system) disorders, including conditions such as arthritis, back pain, work- and sports-related injuries, and brain or spinal cord injuries.

Below is a list of the more common conditions and procedures provided to our patients. Please contact us if you have questions regarding a condition or procedure not listed here.

Neurosurgery
Neurosurgery is the medical specialty concerned with the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of disorders that affect the entire nervous system including the spinal column, spinal cord, brain and peripheral nerves.

Physiatry-Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation
Physiatry is the branch of medicine that specializes in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (abbreviated PM&R). The emphasis of this specialty is on the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the muscle and skeletal system that may cause temporary or permanent disability. It's focus is to restore an individudal's functionality and uses non-surgical treatments.

Neurosurgeons are highly trained professionals, skilled in treating all conditions and injuries involving the head, spine and nerves, including peripheral nerves and tumors of the brain.

MHSI neurosurgeons use the latest techniques in minimally invasive surgery and neuroendovascular procedures to treat stroke and aneurysm. Neurosurgeons also offer treatment for movement disorders, including Epilepsy and Parkinson’s disease.

Below is a brief list of the most common conditions and procedures MHSI neurosurgeons provide for our patients. If you have a question regarding a condition or procedure not listed, please contact us.
