Excellence in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Care: What to Expect
At Advanced Center for Orthopedics & Sports Medicine, our physical medicine and rehabilitation specialist strives to provide the best pain and rehabilitation care available in northwest Kentucky.
Our physiatrist has extensive knowledge about the musculoskeletal system as well as the injuries and conditions causing acute or chronic pain or mobility issues. He also understands that each patient is unique. That’s why he is committed to taking a patient-centered approach to care to provide each patient with the best treatment solution.
When developing a personalized treatment plan, our specialist will first recommend any applicable conservative treatment options. These nonsurgical treatments may include receiving physical therapy from a physical therapist, wearing a brace, taking over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication, or injections to relieve your pain. Many times, these measures can bring about gradual improvements that can greatly reduce or eliminate the acute or chronic pain you are experiencing as a result of an injury, illness, or disabling condition.
However, if nonoperative care is not effective or your injury is too severe, our physiatrist will work with you and our surgeons to find the right surgery for your condition. Rest assured that our surgeons not only have the expertise and exceptional skills needed to perform the required surgery, but they also have access to leading-edge surgical equipment, which helps to ensure the best outcomes possible.
If our physiatrist believes that a special type of surgery is the best option for your pain or immobility, they will help you find the right surgeon to educate you on the full process and the steps involved in your recovery as well as answer any questions you may have.
