Dr. Keomahathai is a board-certified physiatrist, who is currently providing his services at Alliance Spine and Pain Center in Cartersville, Georgia. He stated, “Having previously practiced in Cartersville, I have a great affection for the area and its residents. I enjoy working alongside Dr. Gale, who shares my patient-centric approach.” As the largest interventional pain management company in the Southeast, Alliance Spine and Pain Centers provides patients with a variety of physician options at convenient locations, many near local medical facilities. 

In 1996, he earned his medical degree from the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine in Richmond, Virginia. He then went on to complete his internship and residency in physical medicine and rehabilitation at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Virginia. This was followed by fellowship training in sports medicine, electrodiagnostic medicine, and physical medicine and rehabilitation at Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan. 

Shortly after, Dr. Keomahathai became board-certified in physical medicine and rehabilitation and pain medicine by the American Board of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (ABPMR). The ABPMR was established in 1947 as the certifying body for the field of physical medicine and rehabilitation under the American Board of Medical Specialties. The Board certifies both allopathic and osteopathic physicians. 

Physical medicine and rehabilitation, also known as physiatry and physiatrics, is a branch of medicine that aims to enhance and restore functional ability and quality of life to those with physical impairments or disabilities. Physiatrists treat a wide variety of medical conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord, nerves, bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, and tendons. 

Among his many interests, Dr. Keomahathai remains active in local community services, as well as youth athletics and leadership initiatives.
