Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (Physiatry)
Physiatry consultations with ultrasound evaluation in Lisbon
PHYSIATRY CONSULTATION
Physiatry is a medical specialty focused on the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of conditions or injuries affecting the musculoskeletal system.
The goal is to restore patients’ autonomy, relieve pain and improve quality of life without the need for invasive surgery.
Ultrasound evaluation is a key advantage in Physiatry, allowing for a more accurate and detailed diagnosis of musculoskeletal structures.
With the use of ultrasound, it is possible to visualise muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints in real time, making it easier to identify inflammation, injuries and other dysfunctions. This enables a more effective and personalised treatment plan.
WHAT IS PHYSIATRY FOR?
Physiatry is recommended for people with acute or chronic pain, musculoskeletal injuries, and mobility issues. It is also essential in the rehabilitation process after orthopaedic surgery, trauma or degenerative conditions, helping patients regain function and improve wellbeing.
Need to restore movement, relieve pain or feel better in your daily life? A physiatry consultation is for you.
