Physiatrists, who are also called doctors of physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R), use specialized treatment plans focused on function and mobility, as well as enhanced quality of life. Patients at Washington Township Medical Foundation can expect treatment plans tailored to their needs and preferences. A physiatrist may lead a diverse team of medical professionals in providing you care, including occupational therapists, physical therapists, speech / language pathologists, athletic trainers, and / or social workers. All of these professionals may work together to provide the highest level of care for patients.

Our physiatry team is pleased to serve patients throughout the Silicon Valley, the Bay Area, Oakland, and surrounding communities from our advanced facility conveniently located in Fremont. We work with our patients to help them manage symptoms, utilize assistive tools and devices, and reduce pain while improving quality of life for those with moderate to severe disabilities caused by a broad spectrum of conditions. Physiatrists focus their treatment plans on treating the whole patient—social, physical, psychological—rather than providing isolated care to the immediate problem area that presents itself.
Conditions treated by physiatrists may include chronic diseases, chronic pain, and disabilities affecting the musculoskeletal system. This includes conditions that cause neck pain, low back pain, and more. From diagnosis to assessment to treatment, physiatrists work closely with their patients to identify solutions that meet their needs rather than taking a “one size fits all” approach.
