For physical therapists, treating auto-injury patients comes with unique challenges: unclear diagnoses, incomplete paperwork, delayed specialist access, and documentation demands that can slow everything down. When you’re trying to keep a patient progressing, any one of these hurdles can disrupt the entire plan of care.
That’s why so many Western New York PTs choose to partner with RES Physical Medicine & Rehab. Our medical doctors offer the diagnostic clarity, imaging, and pain-management support your patients need—so you can stay focused on delivering great therapy.
