About Us
Perkins Spine and Sports Medicine
Our PM&R board-certified physicians are medical doctors who have completed training in the medical specialty of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. Rehabilitation physicians treat injuries or illnesses that affect how you move, with the aim of enhancing performance. These specialties treat any disability resulting from disease or injury involving any organ system. The focus is not on one part of the body, but instead on the development of a comprehensive program for putting the pieces of a person's life back together - medically, socially, emotionally, and vocationally - after injury or disease. Our specialists manage issues that span the entire spectrum, from complicated multiple trauma to injury prevention for athletes. We work with our network of physicians throughout the greater Columbus region to provide local PM&R services and care to patients.
What is PM&R?
Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation specialists are leaders in physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R), also called physiatry. It is the branch of medicine emphasizing the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disorders (particularly related to the nerves, muscles, bones and brain) that may produce temporary or permanent impairment. PM&R is one of 24 medical specialties certified by the American Board of Medical Specialties.
Our Mission
