Physical and rehabilitation medicine (PM&R) doctor in Kyiv

A PM&R doctor is a physical and rehabilitation medicine doctor who assesses what exactly a person has lost because of illness, injury or surgery and draws up a recovery plan: from pain and movement to daily living skills and returning to work. To do this, the doctor combines physical therapy, exercises, assistive devices and, if needed, medication. The doctor does not simply prescribe exercises but leads the whole process, involving other specialists.

In brief

At CSM Clinic in Kyiv, appointments are conducted by a physical and rehabilitation medicine doctor, and if needed, a physiotherapist and other clinic specialists join the recovery process.

Restoring health and returning to a full life after serious injuries is the work of a physical and rehabilitation medicine doctor. The doctor's work is aimed at assessing the patient's current condition and developing an individual recovery plan. For this, the specialist uses a variety of methods, both drug-based and non-drug.

In which situations can a physical and rehabilitation medicine doctor help?

CSM Clinic in Kyiv suggests seeing a rehabilitation doctor in the following cases:

Regardless of which organs and systems were affected by the illness, a rehabilitation doctor can help. The doctor's task is to help the person regain the ability to work and enjoy life.

Which treatment methods does a physical and rehabilitation medicine doctor use?

A rehabilitation specialist in Kyiv has many tools available. They are science-based and internationally recognized:

Different treatment methods are used together. They are selected for each patient individually, taking into account the person's health and the seriousness of the illness.

How can a physical and rehabilitation medicine doctor help at CSM Clinic?

One of the priority areas of our clinic is physical therapy in Kyiv. We provide professional care and use a multidisciplinary approach. For qualified diagnostics and treatment, we have modern equipment, including exercise machines and physical therapy systems.

Before recovery begins, an experienced specialist examines the patient, taking into account age, diagnosis, condition and other indicators. Throughout the rehabilitation period, you can rely on support from the doctor and other staff. You can get a consultation online or by phone to better understand organizational questions.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a referral to see a PM&R doctor?

A referral is usually not required for a paid consultation, but it is better to check this when booking. If you already have a referral or a discharge summary from a doctor, bring it with you: this helps the doctor understand more quickly what happened before the visit.

How does a PM&R doctor differ from a neurologist and an orthopedist?

A neurologist and an orthopedist treat the disease or injury itself. A PM&R doctor deals with the consequences: what the person can and cannot do, and how to regain lost functions. That is why after a stroke, surgery or injury, these doctors often work in turn or together.

When can I see a PM&R doctor after a stroke or surgery?

Rehabilitation is started as early as possible, often still in the hospital, when permitted by the doctor treating the patient. Outpatient visits to a PM&R doctor happen after discharge. If several months have already passed, a visit still makes sense: the plan is drawn up for the current condition.

How long does recovery with a PM&R doctor take?

There is no universal timeframe. It depends on the diagnosis, how long ago the injury occurred, and the person's age and condition. The doctor gives approximate timelines after the examination and then reviews the plan based on the results of the sessions.
