Services
Musculoskeletal and spinal procedures
Our providers are trained to perform a variety of musculoskeletal and spinal procedures, including:
- Joint injections (shoulder, hip, knee, ankle, foot, wrist, hand)
- Injections for bursitis
- Nerve blocks
- Trigger point injections for muscular pain
- Trigger finger injections
- Carpal tunnel injections

Clinic staff are also trained in fluoroscopy (X-ray)-guided lower-back injections such as epidural steroid injections, facet joint nerve blocks, genicular nerve blocks, glenohumeral dilatations for adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder), and sacroiliac joint injections.
Ultrasound
Sports or musculoskeletal ultrasound is used to provide in-office diagnostic assessment and guidance. Unlike static x-rays or MRIs, your area of pain can be visualized in a dynamic fashion, while limiting exposure to radiation. Using this technology allows our providers to visualize needle placement in “real-time” and ensure that injected medications are placed directly in the area where they can be most effective.
Electromyography and nerve conduction studies
Electrodiagnostic studies are used to diagnose problems with nerves or muscles. Weakness, numbness, tingling, or shooting pain are all reasons your doctor may want to do an EMG and nerve conduction study. Whether it is a pinched nerve in the neck or back, carpal tunnel syndrome, neuropathy, or a problem with the muscle itself, our specialists perform this procedure to help you get the appropriate treatment for your condition.
