About Rehabilitation Physicians of Pittsburgh
Located in the eastern suburbs of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Rehabilitation Physicians of Pittsburgh is a physician‑owned independent Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation practice specializing in regenerative orthopedics and non‑surgical joint pain relief. The team blends cutting‑edge regenerative therapies such as platelet‑rich plasma injections, prolotherapy, and extracorporeal shockwave therapy with traditional musculoskeletal ultrasound and targeted injection techniques to address conditions ranging from knee osteoarthritis and rotator cuff tears to plantar fasciitis and tennis elbow. By focusing on whole‑person care, the physicians prioritize functional restoration, pain reduction, and avoidance of unnecessary surgery while offering supportive services like acupuncture, massage therapy, yoga, and tai chi to enhance recovery. Founded by award‑winning physicians Dr. Justin Berthold D.O. and Dr. Timothy M. Burg D.O., the practice draws on extensive training at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine. Their commitment to excellence is reflected in honors such as the Pittsburgh Business Times Health Care Hero Award and multiple UPMC PM&R recognitions. The multidisciplinary staff, including Physician Assistant Melissa A. Erin PA‑C, delivers coordinated care through physical therapy, occupational therapy, and lifestyle medicine, ensuring each patient receives a personalized, evidence‑based treatment plan.
