Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation

Musculoskeletal problems are often accompanied by physical limitations and pain which can make it challenging to enjoy everyday life. OrthoNC’s Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation specialist, Dr. Derek Watson, is an expert in helping patients with many conditions and helping patients regain the ability to handle simple daily tasks and return to activities of living and recreation.

Our focus is on restoring function to patients with joint and muscle conditions like sore shoulders, back and neck pain, tendonitis, and pinched nerves, as well as complex orthopaedic, sports and work-related injuries. Patients optimize their strength and flexibility through a variety of treatment options including physical therapy, injections, and medication management, as well as OrthoNC’s unique ability to provide comprehensive care that integrates many specialty areas.

Dr. Derek Watson will utilize the most up-to-date technology to target painful structures in the spine.

OrthoNC offers comprehensive spine expertise

OrthoNC’s back specialists diagnose spine problems and design custom treatment plans built on a conservative, nonsurgical approach. Most patients find relief through treatments including guided injections, specialized physical therapy, exercise, activity modification, and medication. When conservative care does not relieve symptoms, our highly skilled physician offers proven, evidence-based surgical options. Together with you, we will determine the right course of action.
