Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (PM&R)

Patient receiving personalized care from a physical medicine and rehabilitation specialist at CLS Health, focused on improving mobility and managing pain.

Personalized Rehabilitation Care

At CLS Health, our Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (PM&R) specialists—also known as physiatrists—believe that healing is most effective when it’s personal. We take the time to understand each patient’s unique challenges, strengths, and goals before developing a treatment plan.

By combining advanced therapeutic techniques with compassionate, individualized care, we help patients recover function, relieve pain, and regain confidence in their bodies. Education is a key part of every visit, empowering you to take an active role in your recovery and long-term wellness. 

When to See a PM&R Specialist

If pain, weakness, or mobility issues are affecting your daily life, a PM&R specialist can help. At CLS Health, we identify the root cause and design treatments that restore strength, balance, and independence—whether you're recovering from surgery, managing a chronic condition, or adapting after an injury.

Consider seeing a Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation specialist if you experience:  

  • Chronic back, neck, or joint pain lasting more than a few weeks 
  • Loss of strength or coordination in your arms or legs 
  • Difficulty walking, standing, or maintaining balance 
  • Persistent numbness, tingling, or muscle spasms 
  • Declining function after surgery or hospitalization 
  • Trouble returning to work or completing job tasks 
  • Increased fatigue or weakness after light activity 

Our physiatrists help you move forward—stronger, steadier, and with renewed confidence.

Conditions We Treat

We treat chronic pain caused by conditions such as osteoarthritis, herniated discs, and overuse injuries affecting the back, neck, and joints. Our physiatrists use non-surgical methods—like joint and trigger point injections, soft tissue therapy, and medication management—to reduce pain and improve mobility. Treatment plans are tailored to restore comfort and support long-term joint health. 

After a stroke, spinal cord injury, or traumatic brain injury, patients often experience weakness, spasticity, or mobility challenges. Our PM&R physicians design individualized rehabilitation programs to restore functional independence, incorporating assistive devices, strength training, and cognitive retraining when needed. We also support patients with chronic neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis to maintain daily function and prevent complications. 

Recovery after major surgery, organ transplant, or cancer treatment often requires specialized rehabilitation. At CLS Health, our team creates structured, progressive plans to rebuild strength, improve endurance, and restore independence. We closely coordinate with surgeons and care teams to minimize complications and support a full recovery. 

We evaluate and treat mobility issues related to balance disorders, amputation, or neurological conditions like cerebral palsy. Our comprehensive approach includes gait training, prosthetic and orthotic fitting, and fall-prevention strategies. Each treatment plan is designed to help patients move with greater stability and confidence. 

CLS Health provides care for both acute and chronic workplace injuries that affect physical performance or cause ongoing pain. Our PM&R specialists perform functional capacity evaluations (FCEs), return-to-work assessments, and disability prevention programs. These services help patients recover safely while supporting employers in developing effective reintegration plans. 

Treatments

We specialize in non-surgical pain management to help patients achieve long-term relief and restore physical function. Treatments include joint and nerve block injections, trigger point therapy, and customized medication plans. Each strategy is designed to target the source of pain and support whole-body wellness. 

Physical therapy is a cornerstone of rehabilitation at CLS Health. Our therapists work closely with physiatrists to design targeted exercise and mobility programs that rebuild strength, balance, and flexibility. Whether recovering from surgery, managing a neurological condition, or addressing chronic pain, our goal is to help patients move with confidence and reduce discomfort. 

Functional evaluations measure a patient’s physical ability to perform everyday activities, return to work, or qualify for rehabilitation programs. These assessments guide treatment goals and are often used for insurance, disability determinations, or safety clearance. Common uses include evaluating readiness for work, tracking recovery progress, and determining the need for assistive devices such as braces, prosthetics, or mobility aids.
