Physiatry

The Physiatry Department (Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation) at Children’s Hospital Central California specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of children with neurological, musculoskeletal and neuromuscular conditions.

We work with a team of physical therapists, occupational therapists, rehabilitation nurses, neuropsychologists, social workers, speech-language pathologists, clinical dieticians and others to develop a comprehensive care plan for patients. We see patients in both the inpatient and outpatient settings.
