Physical Medicine
& Rehabilitation
At South Texas Spinal Clinic, we are proud to offer comprehensive physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R) services. Our physiatrists, or doctors specializing in rehabilitation medicine, are dedicated to restoring function, reducing pain, and helping patients recover from injuries or chronic conditions without unnecessary surgery.
Know When It’s Time to See a Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Doctor
PM&R doctors focus on diagnosing and treating conditions that affect movement, function, and daily living. While some pain and stiffness may improve with rest, persistent or worsening symptoms are signs that you may benefit from specialized care.
You should schedule an appointment with a physical medicine and rehabilitation doctor if you notice any of these symptoms:
- Pain lasting more than a few weeks without improvement
- Stiffness, weakness, or loss of mobility in the back, neck, or joints
- Numbness, tingling, or radiating pain in the arms or legs
- Difficulty walking, standing, or maintaining balance
- Limited function after injury or surgery
- Chronic pain that interferes with sleep or daily activities
You may also need to see a physical medicine and rehabilitation doctor if you have one of the following conditions:
- Arthritis or degenerative joint disease
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Spinal stenosis or nerve compression
- Sports-related injuries or overuse conditions
- Sciatica or neuropathy
- Chronic musculoskeletal pain
- Recovery needs after orthopedic or spine surgery

From targeted therapies and injections to electrodiagnostic testing and personalized rehabilitation plans, our goal is to reduce pain, restore mobility, and help you return to your normal activities with confidence.
Advanced Bone Health
Healthy bones are essential for supporting movement and rehabilitation. Low bone density can lead to osteoporosis, increasing the risk of fractures that may limit your recovery. Our bone health doctor and providers can evaluate your bone health, recommend strengthening strategies, and provide treatments to help keep your bones strong for years to come.
