Newport Physiatry Services
Improved MobilityKelly Sullivan is a patient of Dr. Mustapha Kemal, who uses guided Botox injections to target specific muscle groups and relax spasticity. His care has helped her regain flexibility and range of motion. “When I found Dr. Kemal, he was unlike any other doctor I knew.” |
Physiatrists, sometimes known as rehabilitative physicians, are nerve, muscle and bone experts who treat injuries and illnesses that affect how you move.
At Newport Physiatry, our two board-certified physiatrists offer a broad array of services, from assessment to diagnosis and treatment, all designed to reduce pain and restore maximum function lost through injury, illness or disabling chronic conditions.
They work in close collaboration with a multidisciplinary team that includes neurologists, orthopedic surgeons and physical therapists at Newport Hospital’s award-winning Vanderbilt Rehabilitation Center.
