At Missoula Valley Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, we emphasize non-invasive treatments that minimize risks while maximizing benefits for our patients. Unlike surgical interventions, most of our patients experience minimal downtime and carry significantly fewer complications.

By combining multiple treatment methods, we address both the physical and psychological aspects of pain.
