The Northport VA Medical Center Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Service evaluates the degree of injury or impairment and restores functioning ability to the highest level to which a patient is capable. Many rehabilitative services are available including Physiatry (the physiatrist is a Medical Doctor for the disabled), Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Kinesiotherapy, and Cardiac Rehabilitation.

Staff and physicians work closely with spinal cord injured veterans, family members and significant others to ensure the highest quality of care. We assist the spinal cord injured patient to enhance his health, improve functional abilities and maintain a quality of life. These goals are met through patient education and participation in research.
