Florida Spine & Pain PHYSIATRY SERVICES

Physiatrist-led treatments typically reduce the likelihood of patients needing surgery, but can also improve
postsurgical outcomes if surgery is required. The skilled nursing facility rehab program is a customized
service that’s tailored to meet the specific needs of your facility. In addition to scheduled patient rounds,
the service includes weekly rehab staff rounds. Using the rehabilitation program helps strengthen your
regulatory systems as well as providing superior care for your residents.

Who Leads The Program At Florida Spine & Pain Institute?

Physiatrists run skilled nursing facility rehab programs. Physiatrists are qualified physicians who have

knowledge of the musculoskeletal system and use minimally invasive treatments to create customized
rehabilitation plans for each patient. A physiatrist helps patients achieve optimal outcomes from their
rehabilitation using a range of advanced and diverse medical interventions.

Recovery for patients in our rehabilitation program is faster and more effective than using other methods,
enabling you to demonstrate an enviable patient well-being record.
