Neck and Back Pain TreatmentPatients may suffer from neck and back pain as a result of injury or as a symptom of a problem such as osteoarthritis or disc herniation. UltrasoundAn ultrasound, also called sonography, is a diagnostic imaging technique which uses high-frequency sound waves and a computer to create images of blood vessels, tissues and organs. Ultrasounds are used to view internal organs as they function, and to assess blood flow through various vessels. Nerve BlockA nerve block is a form of anesthesia in which medication is injected near a nerve so that pain signals from the nerve cannot pass through. MyelogramA myelogram is a specific x-ray study that allows careful evaluation of the spinal canal and nerve roots. It involves the injection of a dye or contrast material into the spinal canal. MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a diagnostic procedure that uses a combination of large magnets, radiofrequencies and a computer to produce detailed images of organs and structures within the body. FluoroscopyFluoroscopy is an imaging technique commonly used by physicians to obtain real-time images of the internal structures of a patient through the use of a fluoroscope. CT ScanA computed tomography scan (also called a CT or CAT scan) is a diagnostic imaging procedure that uses a combination of x-rays and computer technology to produce cross-sectional images (often called slices), both horizontally and vertically, of the body. A CT scan shows detailed images of any part of the body, including the bones, muscles, fat and organs. CT scans are more detailed than general x-rays. |
