About Pain Management and Physical Therapy Specialists

A pain management doctor helps you manage acute or chronic pain so that you can maintain your daily activities comfortably. The pain management specialist at Doral Medical and Multispecialty will work with your other doctors to understand the causes of your pain and help manage your pain while you heal. Pain management uses many different types of treatments, including physical therapy, that are carefully and responsibly selected with your health and well-
being in mind.

Physical therapy specialists help people recover after surgery, bed rest or an injury. Working with a physical therapist allows you to become more active and return to your lifestyle before your illness or injury. Physical therapy also helps decrease or eliminate the need for over-the-counter or pain medication.
