Newport Physiatry Services

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.
