Physiatry // Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation // PM&R
Interchangeable names for a specialty that evaluates how the brain, nerves, muscles, and joints work together to influence movement, pain, and recovery.
A physiatrist is trained to see the whole picture — not just one diagnosis or one body part.
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.
Our Philosophy of Care
We believe healing begins at the foundation.
When pain lingers or recovery stalls, something foundational is often disrupted. We look beyond isolated symptoms to understand what is truly driving them. We partner with patients to develop clear treatment plans and meaningful goals.
Because when the foundation is strong, everything else can rise.
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.
-
Evaluation, management, and care coordination for a wide range of musculoskeletal and nerve conditions affecting recovery and function. See additional specific diagnoses below.
