Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation
Our Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department is comprised of board-certified specialists who focus on evaluating and treating specific forms of acute (short-term) pain and chronic (long-term) pain. Our goal is to help reduce pain and empower our patients to go about their daily activities with more range of motion and less discomfort. Our team of specialty physical providers focus on improving quality of life for people who have had an injury or illness that affects their brain, nerves, bones, spinal cord, joints, ligaments, tendons, or muscles.
After a consultation, our team begins to develop a treatment plan customized to each patientโs needs and overall goals of care. Our treatment plans include a variety of conservative treatments including physical therapy, non-narcotic pain medications, and some interventional treatment options as well. We are dedicated to listening to each patient and guiding them through the journey to decrease pain and to improve function and quality of life. Our providers see patients at Marietta Memorial Hospital but utilize our Belpre campus specifically for procedures. You may also see our providers in the rehab unit at Selby General Hospital.
