Word “physical” in Physical Medicine encompasses all three expressions that are pertaining to our Physical State (body), physical agents (heat, light, sound, cold, etc.) and physical activities\/exercises. Hence, Physical Medicine may be described as diagnosis and treatment of neuro-musculo-skeletal disorders with the use of medications, modalities, intervention procedures (including surgical procedures), environmental & lifestyle changes, exercises and education; individualized to the patient\u2019s needs. That is why; it is often called \u201ccementing force\u201d between different specialties of modern medicine, having access to all the available modes of treatment.<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
