The Division of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (PM&R) within Duke Orthopaedic Surgery is dedicated to restoring function, reducing pain, and improving quality of life for patients with musculoskeletal, neurological, and complex rehabilitation needs. Our team of physiatrists brings expertise in non-surgical management of orthopaedic conditions, spine care, sports injuries, and rehabilitation following trauma or surgery.
We take a patient-centered, interdisciplinary approach to care, working closely with orthopaedic surgeons, physical therapists, neurologists, and other specialists to develop comprehensive treatment plans tailored to each individual’s goals and lifestyle. Our services include diagnostic evaluations, image-guided procedures, electrodiagnostic testing, and rehabilitation strategies that emphasize functional recovery and long-term wellness.
The PM&R division also plays a vital role in education and research. Our faculty are actively involved in training medical students, residents, and fellows, and contribute to innovative research in areas such as pain management, neurorehabilitation, and musculoskeletal outcomes. Through clinical excellence and academic leadership, we strive to advance the field of rehabilitation medicine and enhance access to high-quality care throughout the Duke Health system.
