For Dr. Matt McLaughlin, listening to patients is the first step in helping them regain the functioning they�ve lost in their joints, muscles, and nerves. �I try and get to know my patients and I work as hard as I can for their welfare.�

As a physiatrist, Dr. McLaughlin specializes in the non-surgical evaluation and treatment of spine pain. Dr. McLaughlin also specializes in electrodiagnostic testing to help identify nerve and muscle problems. �Physiatrists try and see the big picture and use a variety of treatments to restore function.� A patient�s treatment plan may include physical therapy, spinal injections, and assistive equipment to help relieve pain and improve patients� lives. �Nearly everyone gets back or neck pain, and today there�s a lot we can do to lessen the agony and get patients back to their normal routine. Some patients still require surgery, but we can provide effective, conservative treatments so we can be much more selective in recommending it.�

Dr. McLaughlin and his wife, both Ohio natives, are happy to be back in the Midwest, raising their young son near family. A die-hard Reds and Bengals fan, Dr. McLaughlin brings to Wellington more than seven years of experience in the private practice of physical medicine and rehabilitation in Denver, Colorado.

Dr. McLaughlin sees patients of all ages at Wellington�s Westside, Anderson, Eastgate, and Mt. Auburn offices.
