We perform several diagnostic tests to find the exact source of joint pain. Our two most recognized tests are Musculoskeletal Ultrasounds (MSKUS) and Electromyography/Nerve Conduction Studies (EMG/NCS). MSKUS offers a number of important advantages compared to X-Ray, CT, and MRI, in terms of safety and effectiveness. This tool is noninvasive and offers real-time imaging, allowing for examinations of structures at rest and in motion. We use it to evaluate shoulder pain, elbow pain, wrist pain, knee pain, and foot pain. An EMG measures the electrical activity of muscles at rest and during contraction. Then NCS is used to measure the health of your nerves. EMG/NCS can help find diseases that damage muscle tissue or nerves. It's used to evaluate back pain radiating to the legs, neck pain radiating to the arms, numbness or burning in the feet, weakness, diabetes, and neuropathy.

Physical therapy is a medical, hands-on approach to relieving pain and restoring function. Physical therapists are medical experts in musculoskeletal and neurological conditions and work closely with physicians. Our physical therapists evaluate your movement patterns, identify the cause of your pain, and work to eliminate it. While every patient's condition and pain is unique, your physical therapist will use a variety of gentle hands-on techniques, exercises, and equipment to relieve pain quickly and restore your function to optimum levels. The overall goal is to restore pain-free mobility and function and to prevent the injury or pain from recurring.
