Thank you! I printed this out to use when I go for my appointment with my new physiatrist. They are also called pain management doctors. I have neck pain that has been ongoing since the end of May (join the club). I’m hoping he can help, but I’m going to PT first. PT worked for me when I had neck pain on my right side. I haven't had neck pain for almost 2 years. My rheumatologist told me the physiatrists use chiropractic, nerve blocks and shots. I’m glad I have now other things that might help.
This is very helpful, I always wondered (and must have been too lazy to look up) what their role was. Opening this up to everyone on the site, how have your experiences been with a physiatrist? Are they hard to find or are they scheduled so far out it's impossible to see them in a reasonable amount of time?
