When should you request a Physiatry consult? 🩺
Sometimes the first sign that something has changed isn’t a new diagnosis—it’s a change in function.
New or worsening pain, decreased mobility, difficulty progressing in therapy, changes in transfers or ADLs, or an unexpected functional decline may signal that it’s time for a closer look.
Early Physiatry involvement can help identify barriers to recovery, address functional concerns, and support the resident’s ability to participate in therapy and daily activities.
📱 Need a consult? Paragon providers are available 7 days a week, 8:00 AM–11:00 PM, with consult and admission responses available via text or email.
When function changes, it’s worth asking why.
