In addition to comprehensive physical exams, the doctors at Orthohealing Center use the most advanced diagnostic tools and equipment available. We are one of the first clinics in Southern California to work with musculoskeletal ultrasound, which is now becoming a standard in sports medicine.

Diagnostic testing that may be ordered include the following:

Electromyogram (EMG) and Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS)

Diagnosing nerve injuries such as carpel tunnel syndrome and neuropathy. Evaluates status of nerves in herniated discs and sciatica.
