Physical medicine and rehabilitation in Tarragona
Restoring functional capacity. Specialized physiatry.
Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (Physiatry) is the medical specialty concerned with restoring the functional capacity of people who have lost mobility or autonomy due to illness, trauma, surgery or degenerative processes. The rehabilitation doctor diagnoses the functional limitation, prescribes rehabilitative treatment and coordinates the multidisciplinary team.
Unlike the physiotherapist who carries out the manual treatment, the rehabilitation doctor is the specialist who assesses the patient holistically, orders diagnostic tests (electromyography, ultrasound, MRI), establishes the functional diagnosis and prescribes the most appropriate rehabilitation programme: physiotherapy, electrotherapy, orthoses, injections or therapeutic exercise.
At Fontanet Medicina i Fisioterapia, Dr. Enrique Barba works in direct coordination with our team of 5 physiotherapists and over 100m² of equipped rehabilitation facilities. This allows a complete care pathway: from the initial medical assessment to rehabilitation discharge, all in the same centre and without waiting lists.
The most common conditions seen in consultation are: neck and low back pain, disc herniation, painful shoulder, post-surgical recovery (prostheses, arthroscopy, fractures), sports injuries, sprains, tendinopathies, nerve entrapment syndromes (carpal tunnel, sciatica) and neurological rehabilitation after stroke or spinal cord injury.
