MEET PHYSIATRIST
TIFFANY TSAY, MD

"My daughter
was able to walk
into the clinic and
be seen right away.
I was so relieved,"
recalls Stephanie
Jones. "They
immediately did
X-rays and diagnosed
a sprained knee.
She was fitted with
a brace and on her
way to recovery."

Physiatrist Tiffany Tsay, MD,
who is board-certified
in sports medicine, joined
Towson Orthopaedic
Associates last fall to offer
this unique specialty to
patients. Also known as physical medicine and rehabilitation, physiatry is a branch of
medicine that aims to enhance and restore
functional ability and quality of life to
those with physical impairments.
"We are happy to welcome Dr. Tsay to
our team," says Teri McCambridge, MD. "Dr.
Tsay specializes in a variety of conditions
that affect functionality. She is trained in
assessment of neurological entrapments;
she treats concussion and specializes in
nerve testing, also known as EMG."
"As a physiatrist, I treat a wide range
of musculoskeletal and nerve-related
health issues, which may range from sports
injuries such as ligament tears to carpal
tunnel syndrome and back pain," says
Dr. Tsay. "I help patients maximize their function and get back to what they love to do.
I take care of athletes of all ages and find

that those who are highly
motivated do the best."
Dr. Tsay offers an array of
treatment modalities and will
create and manage a treatment
plan for patients that may include
exercise, anti-inflammatories,
physical therapy, diagnostic ultrasound, injections of the joints and
referral to other specialists as needed.
Dr. Tsay completed a fellowship in
primary care sports medicine at the
Geisinger Health System and her residency in physical medicine and rehabilitation at the University of Pennsylvania.
She sees patients and performs EMG studies at the Towson and Bel Air locations.
She also staffs Towson Sports Medicine
and Towson Orthopaedic Associates'
After Hours Sports Injury Care Program.
