Diagnostic Tests involved in Spine Comprehensive Medicine
To get to the root of your problem, a detailed examination is performed. Your symptoms are carefully evaluated and various tests are carried out. An individualized treatment plan is then formulated according to your specific needs.
Treatment Options Offered through Spine Comprehensive Medicine
Depending on your condition, your treatment plan may involve:
- Physical therapy: This includes exercises to improve range of motion and strengthen your core muscles, as well as physical therapy modalities such as manipulation, mobilization therapy and laser therapy.
- Medications: Over-the-counter, as well as prescription medications, may be prescribed to treat pain and other symptoms.
-
Injections: Epidural and perineural injections, prolotherapy, facet joint injections, and trigger point injections may be administered to relieve pain and inflammation.
Spine surgery: Surgery is sometimes suggested to relieve the cause of symptoms, which may include pressure placed on nerves and stabilizing the spine.
Whenever possible, we use non-operative or minimally invasive techniques to help you recover as quickly as possible. We also provide education and rehabilitation therapies that focus on improving movement and posture and keeping your spine safe during activities.
