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.

Dr. Margherita is great at finding out what is really the problem and prescribing the right treatment. the 1st doctor I went to couldn't find the problem and wanted to start injections to my back. Dr. Margherita found an injured tendon problem in leg and hip . Ordered P.T. and now I am well

I'd been having rotator cuff problems from years of playing competitive softball and had visited a couple of surgeons for advice. Basically. they said "When the pain gets bad enough come back and see me!" Dr. Margherita was recommended to me by a teammate and he was a breath of fresh air. I decided to visit his office and he was able to size up the situation very quickly. We set up a visit schedule for therapy and then a regimen of exercises to do at home. After 4 months I am completely pain free, yeah!!!! No Advil, no nothing! I don't believe in miracles but I do believe in Dr. Margherita. Now, I'm not going to go out and see how far I can throw a softball...but my shoulder feels like a million bucks. They took my insurance which also made it real easy. Dr Marg's is the best!
