Dr. Bradley Davis is an Asheville, NC physician who specializes in physiatry (physical medicine & rehabilitation).

"I've had two back surgeries and was dreading a third, when my neurosurgeon suggested there was a chance I could benefit from a steroid injection in my cervical spine. Dr. Davis did the procedure, which was covered by my insurance, although I had a high deductible (not the doctor's fault, obviously). The procedure was handled seamlessly by the staff and I was always comfortable with my care. Within two weeks of the procedure, my pain was substantially resolved, and I have avoided surgery as a result. No medical procedure is guaranteed to work on every situation, but in my opinion, trying less invasive therapies before electing for spinal surgery is an obvious option. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dr. Davis for those with conditions that might benefit from this therapy."

What is Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation?

The specialty of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) is not one that many people are immediately familiar with, yet it is one that serves thousands of people every year. Also known as Physiatry, it is sometimes simply referred to as Rehabilitation or Rehab. This specialty focuses on restoring quality of life for patients who are experiencing physical pain or loss of function after a traumatic illness or injury. After major surgery, a car accident, a long illness such as cancer, or a major change to the body (such as the loss of a limb), it is the PM&R physicians who help patients begin to feel better and put the pieces of their life back together again.

PM&R physicians work with patients who have been disabled by pain or the loss of motion or cognition, and they find ways to restore function. They may consult with other physicians such as neurologists, orthopedists, physical therapists, or psychiatrists. PM&R specialists treat the whole person, not specific symptoms or illnesses, and their goal is to help patients lead active and able lives.

One example of services performed by a physical medicine and rehabilitation physician is teaching a patient who just had a leg amputated how to get around the house, use the bathroom, bathe, and care for themselves. A different example might be helping a patient learn how to walk again after a traumatic brain injury. Because there are so many different causes of pain and disability, the list of services provided by PM&R physicians is nearly endless. Generally, services that are provided by a PM&R specialist can fall into one of the following care categories:

Self-care skills (bathing, grooming)
Physical care (feeding, taking medication)
Mobility
Respiratory care (ventilator care, exercises for lung function)
Communication
Cognitive skills (memory, problem solving)
Vocational training
Pain management
Psychological counseling (adapting to a disability)

Because there are so many options, it can be a very creative specialty. When accidents, pain, or illness cause disability, it is the physical medicine and rehabilitation specialists who are there to give patients their life back.
