About Dr. Robert G. Schwartz, MD
Piedmont Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (PPMR) in Greenville, SC is a non‑opioid, patient‑first pain‑management practice that blends advanced regenerative therapies with comprehensive diagnostic services. Led by Dr. Matthew Terzella and Dr. Robert G. Schwartz, the team focuses on uncovering the root cause of chronic and complex pain conditions—ranging from back and neck pain to rare disorders such as CRPS, Ehlers‑Danlos, and dysautonomia—so that treatment targets the underlying pathology rather than merely masking symptoms. The practice emphasizes compassionate, individualized care, offering extensive education and shared decision‑making throughout each patient’s journey. PPMR’s service portfolio spans minimally invasive injection techniques (prolotherapy, PRP, exosomes, Wharton’s jelly, stem‑cell‑derived mesenchymal cells), laser‑guided percutaneous tenotomy, nerve blocks, Botox for migraine and muscle pain, and non‑narcotic pharmacologic protocols. Complementary therapies include hormone replacement, the Marshall protocol, nutritional support, and structured exercise programs designed to restore function and improve quality of life. Diagnostic capabilities such as musculoskeletal ultrasound, EMG/NCV, thermography, and vascular studies enable precise identification of pain generators and guide targeted interventions. Beyond clinical treatment, the practice provides a full‑service support team that handles insurance coordination, wellness counseling, and patient education. By integrating regenerative medicine, advanced injection strategies, and a holistic, whole‑person approach, PPMR helps patients move, live, and feel better without reliance on surgery or long‑term opioids.
