Spine
Surgery:
We offer the following procedures including Complex Spine and MISS
(minimally invasive spine surgery).
Most spine patients respond well to non-surgical treatment. However, some
back and neck problems are best treated with surgery. If you are facing
surgery, you probably have questions about the procedure, its benefits and
risks. As you review the articles always remember that your spine surgeon

Rehabilitative Medicine
Rehabilitation Physicians:
• Experts at diagnosing and treating pain
• Restore maximum function lost through injury, illness or disabling
conditions
• Treat the whole person, not just the problem area
• Lead a team of medical professionals
• Provide non-surgical treatments
• Explain your medical problems and treatment plan
• Work not only on treatment but also prevention
Rehabilitation physicians are nerve, muscle, and bone experts who treat
injuries or illnesses that affect how you move.
Rehabilitation physicians treat a wide range of problems from sore
shoulders to spinal cord injuries. Their goal is to decrease pain and
enhance performance without surgery. Rehabilitation physicians take the
time needed to accurately pinpoint the source of an ailment. They then
design a treatment plan that can be carried out by the patients
themselves or with the help of the rehabilitation physician's medical
team. This medical team might include other physicians and health
professionals, such as neurosurgeons and physical therapists. By
providing an appropriate treatment plan, rehabilitation physicians help
patients stay as active as possible at any age. Their broad medical
expertise allows them to treat disabling conditions throughout a person's
lifetime.
Rehabilitation Physicians May Treat:
• Arthritis
• Osteoarthritis
• Back Pain
• Brain Injuries
• chronic Pain
• Geriatric Rehabilitation
• Neck Pain
• Nerve Pain

Our mission at Physicians' Medical Imaging is to provide diagnostic
imaging by utilizing Magnetic Resonance Imaging, CT Scanning, X-Ray and
Fluoroscopy imaging modalities. Every imaging test is conducted by a
well-trained and certified technologist and interpreted by an
experienced, board certified diagnostic radiologist. We strive to promote
professional care by providing valuable health care services to the
surrounding community.
• General Radiology
|
• CT Scans: Computed tomography (or
"CAT") scans use a special X-ray camera to produce highly
detailed images of the chest, abdomen, pelvis, brain and spine. Our
advanced "spiral" scanner allows us to see smaller structures
and pinpoint problems with greater accuracy. Out technologist is CT
registered. (See photo below.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
• Fluoroscopy: Fluoroscopy
is used for observing the internal structure of an opaque object by
means of X rays. Our C-Arm is used for Myelograms and Nerve Blocks.
(See photo below.)
PMI has undergone a massive renovation and upgrade in 2004 including
the addition of a PACS system, a new Zeihm C-Arm and a Siemens Volume
Zoom Cat Scanner as well as the addition of a pain clinic.
