Physiatrists are physicians who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal injuries and pain syndromes, and rehabilitation of patients with severe impairments. At Carolina Neurosurgery & Spine Associates, our board-certified physiatrists allow us to offer an even more comprehensive level of nonsurgical care. From assessing and treating spine disorders, to providing post-operative management of disabilities related to brain injuries and disorders, these specialists deliver a holistic approach where they try to avoid surgery and minimize medications.
