CT scans use X-ray equipment and computer processing to produce 2-dimensional images of the body. The patient lies on a table and passes through a machine that looks like a large, squared-off donut.
Electromyography (EMG) is a diagnostic test to evaluate the health of muscles and the nerve cells that control them. Motor neurons transmit electrical signals that cause muscles to contract.
In a lumbar puncture, a physician uses a thin, hollow needle to remove a sample of cerebrospinal fluid (the fluid that washes the brain and spinal cord) from between the bones and the lower part of the spine.
Botox®, the cosmetic form of botulinum toxin, is a popular non-surgical injection that temporarily reduces or eliminates frown lines, forehead creases, crow's feet near the eyes, and wrinkles and bands in the neck.
InterX® is a safe, drug-free, noninvasive treatment that delivers targeted stimulation to an affected area and can relieve pain and restore function in many areas of the body. The virtually painless stimulation helps to release endorphins and dynorphins, resulting in natural pain relief and accelerated recovery.
Trigger point injections are a safe and very effective remedy for painful muscles around the neck, shoulders, and back. A small needle is inserted into the muscle and releases the "knot," an action which usually leads to lasting relief for up to 2 months. It can be thought of as a very strong massage.
