X-Ray

Digital X-Ray technology gives Orthopaedic Associates a competitive advantage and provides the high quality patient experience our patients have come to expect.

Our x-ray system produces high quality images that make a meaningful difference in diagnosis, time savings, and provide physicians and support staff more time for patient care.  The Fuji PACS System (Pictorial Archiving and Communication Systems) allows the physician to enhance the image in contrast, brightness, and magnification providing an "HD-like" view of the area of concern while minimizing radiation exposure to the patient.

These digital systems have the ability to store the images on CD's so patient's can easily keep their MRI and X-Ray's with their records.

Orthopaedic Associates is staffed with certified radiologic technologist's RT(R) who have been specially trained in MR imaging.

EMG

Electromyography (EMG) / Nerve Conduction Studies

EMG and nerve conduction studies (often referred to simply as an “EMG”) are performed when a peripheral nerve problem, muscle disease, or neuromuscular junction disorder is suspected. An EMG can help determine the location of a “pinched nerve” and determine the severity of the problem. A physician may refer a patient for an EMG when symptoms such as numbness, tingling, muscle weakness, and pain are present. This type of testing is done by physical therapists with extensive training in evaluating neuromuscular disorders. These physical therapists are board certified specialists in Clinical Electrophysiology by the American Board of Physical Therapy Specialties.

Services include:

• Electromyography (EMG)
• Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS)
