She has completed training in the medical specialty physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R).

Dr. Belcher treats a wide range of problems from sore shoulders to spinal cord injuries. Her goal is to decrease pain and enhance
performance without surgery.
Physiatrists, or also called Rehabilitation Physicians, take the time needed to accurately pinpoint the source of an ailment. They design a treatment plan that can be carried out by the patients themselves or with the help of the rehabilitation physician’s medical team. This medical team might include other physicians and health professionals, such as neurologists, orthopedic surgeons, chiropractors, and physical therapists. By providing an appropriate treatment plan, physiatrists help patients stay as active as possible at any age. Their broad medical expertise allows them to treat disabling conditions throughout a person’s lifetime.

With locations in Bartlett, Hoffman Estates, Buffalo Grove and Elk Grove Village, the fifteen physicians and clinical staff specialize in surgical and non-surgical orthopedic treatment, physical rehabilitation, radiology and MRI services, and wellness services.
