Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation

Our rehabilitation specialists have extensive experience treating patients recovering from trauma, neurological conditions, orthopaedic problems, cancer and other illnesses, and surgical procedures. At Vanderbilt, you have access to orthopaedic certified specialists, sports certified specialists, certified hand therapists, certified manual therapists and certified women’s health specialists.

Our specialty programs in spinal cord injury, stroke and trauma are accredited by The Joint Commission. And our Vanderbilt Dayani Center for Health and Wellness is the first medical fitness facility in Tennessee to be accredited by the Medical Fitness Association.

Research has shown that early rehabilitation enhances functional outcomes. Our rehabilitation specialists consult with clinicians in acute care units such as the trauma center and the neuro ICU to provide recommendations about your post-acute care and early rehabilitation interventions.

Our procedure suite at the Vanderbilt Stallworth Rehabiliation Hospital is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment for interventional spine and musculoskeletal procedures. Our team of physicians, radiology technicians and nurses work together to provide a safe and comfortable care environment.

We collaborate with others on your care team, in areas such as orthopaedics and internal medicine. Together we design a care plan that meets your unique needs.

We care for your whole self: body, mind and spirit. Our Osher Center for Integrative Health offers research-proven therapies like acupuncture, massage and mind-body counseling to complement traditional treatments.

As part of an academic medical center, we investigate new, more effective approaches to care in sports medicine, pain medicine, rehabilitation and physical medicine. This means you have access to the latest treatment options available.

We make it easy for you to transition from the hospital to outpatient clinics and even home care, if needed.
