Why Physiatrists Are Expanding Their Procedural Skills
Physical medicine and rehabilitation physicians are uniquely positioned to deliver comprehensive pain management, combining their expertise in functional restoration with interventional techniques.
- Natural Extension of PM&R: Interventional pain procedures complement your rehabilitation expertise, allowing you to address pain at its source while optimizing functional outcomes.
- Comprehensive Patient Care: Offer patients a complete treatment pathway—from diagnosis through injection therapy and rehabilitation—all under one roof.
- Competitive Advantage: Differentiate your practice by offering procedures that complement your physiatry training and attract patients seeking non-surgical solutions.
- Strong Reimbursement: Pain management procedures are well-established with CPT codes and typically covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurers.
- Reduce Referral Leakage: Keep patients in your practice by offering interventional services instead of referring out for injections and nerve blocks.
