ELECTRODIAGNOSTICS

ELECTRODIAGNOSTICS Electrodiagnostics Electrodiagnosis is a method of medical diagnosis that gathers information regarding nerve injury, muscle injury, muscle disease, localization and prognosis through electrical technology. This information is used to help focus treatment on the exact site of injury. These tests use needles and small shocks to assess the signaling of your nerves and muscles. EMG tests and nerve conduction studies can both help find out if you have a disorder of your muscles, nerves, or both....

DORSAL ROOT GANGLION STIMULATOR (DRG)

DORSAL ROOT GANGLION STIMULATOR (DRG) Pumps & Stimulators Implants Spinal cord stimulation therapy and peripheral nerve field stimulation are related types of electrical stimulation that treat chronic pain. Mild electrical pulses are directed to disrupt pain messages to the brain, reducing the feeling of pain. Spinal cord stimulation is used most often after nonsurgical pain treatment options have failed to provide sufficient relief. Spinal cord stimulators may be used to treat or manage different types of...

CLUNEAL NERVE INJECTION

CLUNEAL NERVE INJECTION Nerve Blocks & Injections Nerves in the body called a plexus or ganglions, can cause pain. This pain can be “turned off” by using a specific type of injection that blocks the pain signals from reaching the brain and this is known as a nerve block. Nerve block injections are very common and are used to treat chronic pain when medications or other treatments prove to be ineffective or cause negative side effects. They allow for a damaged nerve proper time to heal, provide temporary pain...
