Thomas Nabity, MD (PM&R)

Dr. Nabity is board-certified in both Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and Pain Medicine. After completing his medical school training at the University of Nebraska and his residency at William Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, Michigan, he began his career with an initial focus on non-surgical management of musculoskeletal, spine, and joint pains.

As part of developing comprehensive treatment plans for his patients, Dr. Nabity developed a special interest in optimizing his patients’ overall health rather than just focusing on their pain generating condition. This interest led him to become one of the first physicians in Michigan to incorporate Regenerative Medicine treatments such as PRP and Stem Cell injections as well as hormone replacement and peptide therapy into his treatment options.
