Advanced Techniques to Manage Physical and Cognitive Impairment

Loyola Medicine’s physical medicine and rehabilitation specialists, commonly referred to as physiatrists, diagnose, evaluate and manage children and adult patients with physical and cognitive impairment or disability.

They have specialized training in non-surgical treatment of neurological and musculoskeletal conditions, as well as impairments related to other organ systems such as the heart and lungs.

Loyola’s physiatrists provide leadership to integrated teams focused on the restoration and development of physical, cognitive, social, recreational, occupational and vocational function in people whose abilities have been limited by pain, disease, trauma, or by congenital and developmental disorders. Depending on the nature of the impairment, the care you require may be short- or long-term.

Patients undergoing physical medical rehabilitation may be treated in a hospital, in a special rehabilitation unit, in their own home or on an outpatient basis. Learn about our acute rehabilitation unit.
