Non Operative Spine Care
Medication alone may not be enough to manage your pain. Some medications are more effective when they are combined with other methods of treatment. Our physicians pride themselves on offering you the most up to date pain treatment procedures specific to the type of pain you are experiencing.
Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation
Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation also known as Physiatry, is the branch of medicine emphasizing the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of disorders, particularly those of the neuromusculoskeletal system.
Pain Management
Our doctors are experts at diagnosing why you are having pain as well as treating the pain itself. Whether you are having acute pain or chronic pain, we will work closely with your primary doctor to establish a treatment plan. We may use multiple medical modalities in the treatment of your pain. The goal is to increase the quality of your life by decreasing your level of pain.
Electrodiagnostic Testing
Electromyography (EMG) consists of inserting fine needle electrodes in muscles and observing the motor response when the muscles are activated. Nerve conduction studies (NCS) use electrodes to record motor and sensory responses that are generated by electrical stimuli. These tests can play a significant role in the diagnosis of various neuromuscular disorders.
Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic is a conservative, non-surgical, drug – free manual (done by hands) therapy that utilizes spinal manipulation/mobilization, soft tissue techniques and postural, core stabilization exercises to treat injured areas of the spine. The goal of therapy is to restore/maintain spine health and motion thereby minimizing pain or discomfort and disability.
Integrative Therapies
Acupuncture and Massage therapies are helpful in many conditions and may be offered as part of your pain management treatment plan. Licensed therapists are here to help contribute to your over all wellness.
