Dr. Peter Schmaus

Dr. Schmaus is a leading physical medicine and rehabilitation physician. With over three decades of experience and additional board-certification in pain management, he specializes in the non-surgical treatment of orthopedic problems, including neck, back, shoulder, knee, hip, and elbow pain as well as herniated discs and spinal stenosis. He conservatively treats tendonitis, rotator cuff and meniscus tears, and sports injuries. He performs multiple types of injections, using ultrasound as necessary, as well as electro-diagnostic testing.

A strong advocate for team-based care, Dr. Schmaus works closely with physical therapists and chiropractors. He incorporates Yoga, Pilates, and Tai Chi in his exercise-based approach and has also worked with practitioners who specialize in the Alexander, Chek, and Feldenkrais techniques. This conservative approach usually helps patients avoid surgery, but when surgery is necessary, he works with highly skilled surgeons to ensure patients have the best outcomes.
