Have you been injured in the past 8 weeks?
Physicians who undergo several years of specialty training in physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R) are called “Physiatrists” They focus on diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system (bones, joints and the soft tissue connected to them) and the neurological system (responsible for communicating signals between different parts of the body and brain) with the goal of optimizing function. Physiatrists specialize in employing a comprehensive approach to care, utilizing various treatment modalities to improve quality of life for individuals with disabilities, injuries, or chronic medical conditions.

If you can point to a specific muscle, bone or joint and say, “Take the pain away in this area, and it would significantly improve my life!” then you’re the kind of patient that we are most likely to help. Dull, aching, persistent pain that is “everywhere” is better handled by a chronic pain program with a broader multidisciplinary team that can manage your medications, sleep disturbance and stress management.
When you hurt for a long time you don’t move like you should, which makes the problem worse. Goal-oriented, movement-based physical therapy will help restore your physical function, mobility, strength, alleviate pain, promote healing and prevent further injuries. Our physiatrists and physiotherapists work closely together to ensure your physical rehabilitation plan is optimized to match your overall treatment plan.
In order to treat the localized pain you have, we may need to explore using image-guided pain interventions where we use a needle to deliver a treatment there. This isn’t always required but can go a long way to helping address your localized MSK pain.
Through specialized clinics our physiatrists offer thorough assessments to diagnose musculoskeletal, neurological, and functional impairments, as well as evaluate the impact of these conditions on daily activities and quality of life.
Based on their evaluations, physiatrists develop individualized treatment plans tailored to your specific needs, goals, and preferences. Because of the comprehensive services we have in-house, much of this treatment plan can be provided in a coordinated and efficient manner.
To make an accurate diagnosis of your condition, localize the problem, measure severity and guide their treatment decision, our physiatrists may recommend electrodiagnostic testing.
These are valuable tools in the comprehensive treatment approach of physiatrists, allowing them to diagnose and treat musculoskeletal and neurological conditions effectively while minimizing risks and optimizing patient outcomes.
Physiatrists view physical therapy as an essential component of multidisciplinary care, collaborating closely with physical therapists to address patients’ musculoskeletal, neurological, and functional needs comprehensively.
Diagnostic
Pain Management
Vivo Cura specializes in identifying the source of your pain and controlling it through skilled procedures (view our services page). However, that’s not the end of treatment – it’s just the beginning! Lasting solutions to pain require action from both the practitioner and the patient.
This is our approach to treating not only the symptoms of pain, but also the root problems causing it:
A multidisciplinary team works with you, the patient, to identify the source of your pain.
Our goal is to understand why you hurt, not just where you hurt.
We strive to listen to and understand your concerns, set relevant goals with you, and prepare an individualized care-path to achieve those goals.
What we do
The pain we help manage is a symptom of a problem that our multidisciplinary team helps identify. Once identified, our team proposes a treatment plan, which often includes an intervention, aimed to control that pain.
When your pain is managed, it opens a window of opportunity for you to rehabilitate and assume a healthier lifestyle.
What you do
With your pain under control, it’s time to take action!
We help you through the rehabilitation process and individualize it so you regain the ability to do those things that are most important to you.
You make changes to your lifestyle, including exercise, healthy eating, and positive thinking.
You may require further pain control procedures to continue taking individual action.
Real change
We hope the improvements in pain, function and lifestyle become a part of you.
Life after dealing with pain may not look exactly as it did before, but new chapters are full of their own unique adventures!
