Diagnostic Testing
Before developing a plan of treatment, various methods of diagnostic tests help the physicians and physician assistants determine the cause and origin of pain. There are several options available in diagnosing a condition, each with its own specialized benefits. Most commonly used methods include Electromyogram (EMG), Ultrasound, and other medical imaging, such as X-ray, MRI, CT scan, and bone scan. Southwest Spine and Sports offers EMG/NCS testing and Ultrasound in both our Scottsdale and Tempe locations, as well as X-ray in our Scottsdale office. Tests that are not available in our offices can be scheduled at an imaging facility that is convenient for you.
