Physical Medicine & Rehab
Patients Will Benefit From Physical Medicine & Rehab
When patients have physical (musculoskeletal) problems that require physical medicine, Scott R. Jahnke, DO, is double board-certified in Pain Medicine and board-certified in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.
After more than 15 years and thousands of patients, Dr. Jahnke’s diagnostic skill, compassion and treatment armamentarium have all been honed to a fine edge.
He uses interventional pain medicine in combination with nonsurgical and minimally invasive physical medicine and rehabilitation modalities. With his advanced knowledge of rehabilitation modalities and the musculoskeletal system, he often gets results where other treatments have failed.
Dr. Jahnke mainly treats patients with:
- Back, neck & spine-related problems
- Numbness & tingling
- Functional limitations
- Shoulder & knee pain & injuries
- Musculoskeletal trauma, pain & injuries
- Acute & chronic musculoskeletal pain
- The need to avoid surgery
Combining PM&R with pain medicine & management
Patients gain greater benefit from the synergic effect of these two medical disciplines in tandem. Dr. Jahnke’s evidence-based treatment plans are unique to each patient – a unique combination of treatments best suited to their unique physiological and emotional needs.
When to refer for EMG
If your patient’s condition is caused by a disease that damages muscle tissue, nerves or neuromuscular junctions, electromyography (EMG) is indicated. Your patients may present with peripheral neuropathy, herniated disc or a neuromuscular disorder.
EMG helps Dr. Jahnke find the cause of weakness or numbness by studying the electrical activity within muscles at rest and at work. The symptoms may originate in a muscle, the nerves supplying a muscle, the spinal cord or the area of the brain that controls muscular activities.
