Summary

A Message from Janaki Natarajan, MD:I began my medical training in internal medicine and pediatrics, but I was drawn to physical medicine and rehabilitation because of my love for neurology and understanding "how the body functions-our muscle and nerve connection." I also value the hands-on, procedural side of this specialty. Over time, I developed a special focus on treating pelvic pain in both men and women. After experiencing pelvic pain myself, I saw that it was a gap in medicine and that better treatment options were needed. That realization turned into a true passion for my work. I earned my medical degree from the University of Missouri-Kansas City and completed my residency in physical medicine and rehabilitation at the University of Kansas. I am board-certified in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. A good day for me is helping relieve pain while also restoring function, so patients can return to the activities they love. If pain is limiting your life, taking the first step toward care can help you move forward.
