Why Board Certification Matters
All licensed physicians (MD or DO) can diagnose and treat patients. However, a medical license is not specialty-specific.
Board certification indicates that a physician has completed additional training and demonstrated expertise in a particular specialty or subspecialty. For chronic pain patients, selecting a board-certified physician may provide confidence that the doctor has focused training in managing complex musculoskeletal and pain conditions.
For more information about board certification, visit the American Board of Medical Specialties.
General Practice vs. Specialist
