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.

"Dr. Margherita and his staff have been very helpful working with me. I have some chronic medical issues that have required a number of different therapies and medications. I am pleased with their ongoing attention towards helping me. With there help, I have been able to continue working a very full work schedule and enjoy most recreational activities I was having difficulty with in the past."

I appreciated that Dr. Margherita really listened to me, then took a reasonable approach to solving my problem. He explained the causes for the discomfort in my neck and shoulder then laid out the steps of what we could do to fix it. One short prescription and some easy exercises did the job, but I know that there are other options if the pain ever returns. I will definitely return to Dr. Margherita's office if I have other problems with chronic pain.
