What is a physiatrist?

As a Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) physician, also known as a Physiatrist, Dr. Elise Itano treats a wide variety of spine and musculoskeletal conditions that affect the bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, tendons, and nerves.

By taking the whole body into account, she can accurately pinpoint problems and help relieve pain, enhance performance, and regain function without surgery.

“My whole-person approach integrates each patient’s health into their work, social, and home life,” Dr. Itano says. “This gives us a complete understanding of the medical situation and personal treatment goals. I enjoy supporting my patients throughout their journey toward returning to activity and improved quality of life.”

When should I see a physiatrist?

A physiatrist is often the first step when suffering from spine and musculoskeletal pain.
Consider seeing a physiatrist when:

• You have an injury that causes pain and/or impedes physical functioning;
• You have an illness or disability that has left you with limited physical functioning and pain.
