Spine Care

The Spine Center’s diagnostic equipment provides accurate, specific diagnoses for spine conditions. Your spine care team works closely together to develop a care plan based on your specific condition. They may suggest one or more of the following tests to diagnose your spinal condition:

• Computed tomography (CT) scan
• Diagnostic injection procedures (nerve blocks)
• Electromyography (EMG) (measures how well muscles respond to electrical impulses)
• Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)  
• Myelography (imaging that uses contrast dyes and x-rays)
• Nerve conduction studies (to measure nerve response to electrical stimulation)
• Ultrasound
