Minimize Disability and Maximize Function.
Physiatry is a field of medicine (also called Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation) that specializes in the evaluation and treatment of people with injuries, illnesses and conditions affecting nerves, muscles, joints, and bones. Physiatrists are experts in the evaluation of musculoskeletal or neurological conditions with a focus towards the minimization of impairment and disability. Physiatrists use a variety of techniques to aid in the evaluation of patients, including x-rays, bone scans, MRI scans, and other studies. Physiatrists also use electrodiagnostic testing (also called EMG and Nerve Conduction Testing) to assess conditions like pinched nerves, nerve injuries, and peripheral neuropathies.
What separates Physiatrists, like Dr. Margherita, from other physicians who treat neurological or musculoskeletal conditions is their functional orientation and focus on appropriate treatment and rehabilitation. Our Physiatry services include…
- Spine / Sports / Musculoskeletal Care
- EMG & Nerve Conduction Testing
- Worker’s Compensation
- Regenerative Medicine
- Clinical Trials
The focus of Physiatry is to minimize disability and maximize function, no matter what the problem or condition. Please contact us today to request an appointment or learn more.
Live Pain-Free!
Real Clients, Real Results.
Dr Margherita is an excellent doctor. I had severe pain for months in my shoulder. He helped me understand the issue and, through physical therapy, resolve the problem. I am nearly back to normal and, by continuing my physical therapy at home, can continue to be pain free.

I went to Dr. Margherita for knee pain a month before a planned camping trip. The office got me an appointment quickly. When I got there, everyone was friendly and professional. Dr. M is very thorough - he LISTENS and asks questions, then probes and manipulates to isolate the issue. I ended up with X-ray, MRI and ultrasound, as each imaging method gives you different info. My injured knee was completely fixed in time for lots of hiking. Couldn't be more pleased!
