Foundations Physiatry
Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation
Fort Collins, Colorado
WELCOME TO FOUNDATIONS PHYSIATRY
Foundations Physiatry was established in 2025 in Fort Collins, Colorado to provide thoughtful, rehabilitation-focused care for patients navigating complex neurologic, muscular, and connective tissue conditions.
Our founder, Dr. Casey Emigh M.D., has a clinical interest in brain injury and concussion, hypermobile Ehler’s Danlos Syndrome (EDS), and neuropathy; however, our services are designed to support a wide range of complex symptoms and diagnoses.
We care for the whole person, creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where patients feel heard, respected, and taken seriously. Treatment is individualized and may incorporate a range of approaches, including rehabilitative, procedural, integrative, and collaborative strategies, depending on your needs.
Conditions We Treat
-
Traumatic brain injury care ranging from mild to severe, including concussion and post-concussive symptoms such as cognitive changes, dizziness, visual symptoms, fatigue, and functional limitations.
-
Evaluation of post-traumatic headache patterns (including migraine, occipital neuralgia, cervicogenic/facet-related, myofascial), with targeted treatment planning and coordination with neurology or pain management when needed.
-
Care for cervical spine and soft tissue injuries after trauma, including stiffness, reduced range of motion, and symptoms of cervical radiculopathy (radiating arm pain, numbness, or weakness) and coordination with pain management when needed.
-
Evaluation and rehabilitation-focused management of hypermobility-related disorders, including Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (HSD) and Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS). Care may address joint instability, chronic pain, and associated musculoskeletal and nerve-related conditions, with guidance on evaluation and coordinated care for overlapping symptoms such as fatigue, headaches, autonomic dysfunction, exercise intolerance, and nutritional deficiencies.
-
Comprehensive evaluation and treatment of nerve conditions affecting a single nerve (such as carpal tunnel syndrome), nerve plexus compression or injury (such as thoracic outlet syndrome), or more widespread nerve disorders (such as peripheral neuropathy). Diagnostic evaluation may include nerve testing (EMG/NCS), imaging, laboratory studies, and in some cases skin biopsy to assess small fiber nerve function. Treatment is highly individualized and is based on the severity of symptoms and nerve injury.
-
Evaluation, management, and care coordination for a wide range of musculoskeletal and nerve conditions affecting recovery and function. See additional specific diagnoses below.

Meet Dr. Casey Emigh
Dr. Casey Emigh, M.D. (pronounced “Dr. Emmy”) is a board-certified Physiatrist (Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation/PM&R physician). She completed medical school in Kansas and residency in Washington before relocating to Colorado with her husband and dogs to be closer to family.
After practicing within a large healthcare system in Northern Colorado, she recognized the need for more time, flexibility, and collaborative care when serving patients with complex symptoms and diagnoses. This led to the creation of Foundations Physiatry in 2025.
She has a clinical interest in brain injury and concussion, hypermobility and connective tissue disorders, and a wide range of musculoskeletal and peripheral nerve conditions.
Her work is grounded in listening closely, identifying what is truly driving symptoms, and developing personalized plans that support recovery of both the brain and body—while honoring the whole person.
