Carlo Milani, MD, MBA, physiatrist HSS shares why you should consult with a physiatrist if you are dealing with a nerve, tendon, joint, or muscle condition that hampers your mobility.

I might meet a newly pregnant woman experiencing back pain, an individual managing wrist or hand discomfort from everyday activities, a weekend athlete with knee or shoulder pain from tennis, or a high school or college athlete rehabilitating an injury to return to sports,” said Dr. Milani. 

“I also frequently see patients in their 50s and 60s who have led active lifestyles and want to continue doing so. Some of these individuals may be managing chronic issues such as shoulder and knee osteoarthritis, while others might be navigating injuries from popular recreational activities like pickleball,” Dr. Milani continued.
