Dr. Jarron Tilghman is a man of many talents. He’s a musician, a baker, and an interventional physiatrist who offers non-surgical treatments for orthopedic conditions.
As a physician at Rockhill Orthopaedic Specialists, Dr. Tilghman focuses on spine care using image-guided procedures. He emphasizes physical therapy, occupational therapy, injection therapies, and more. To him, each patient has a unique story to tell, and he enjoys getting to know the aspects of their lives that inspire them.
“I was trained to treat my patients like family as a general rule,” said Dr. Tilghman. “There are so many stories that they share in the context of a clinic visit that positively enhance the work environment not only for myself but also for my medical staff.”
When Dr. Tilghman evaluates a patient, he looks at their medical history and desired goals, and then does a comprehensive physical exam to identify limitations in their mobility and impact on their quality of life. Finally, he reviews diagnostic test results to identify the appropriate diagnosis and create a conservative treatment plan.
He doesn’t just treat pain—he restores purpose.
“There is no greater joy for me than to see a patient have such a positive outcome from a specific treatment plan. I recognize that it is a privilege to serve in this capacity and I do not take my responsibility lightly.”
When he takes off his lab coat at the end of the day, Dr. Tilghman wears lots of other hats. He is a husband, father of three children, singer, pianist, songwriter, baker, and youth sports coach. He also enjoys participating in medical mission trips and has served in countries like Honduras, Uganda, and Mexico.
Dr. Tilghman lives to serve others with grace, empathy, and a deep belief in the power of healing through human connection.
