In this episode of The 27th Degree, hosts Chris and Nancy explore the field of physiatry with Dr. Parakrama Ananta, a specialist in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. Together, they dive into what physiatry really is—the art and science of restoring movement, function, and quality of life for patients recovering from injury, chronic pain, or neurological conditions.
Dr. Ananta explains the types of conditions physiatrists treat, the standard workups used in their evaluations, and how patients can play an active role in their own recovery. You’ll also hear stories of remarkable patient improvement and learn why collaboration, mindset, and consistency are key to long-term success.
Whether you’re a healthcare professional, caregiver, or someone on your own healing journey, this episode offers valuable insight into a specialty focused on getting people back to living their fullest lives.
