There are over 7 billion laboratory tests performed in the United states yearly. Diagnostic testing is a wide variety of physical examinations. Doctors use the tests to confirm the presence or absence of diseases, monitor your progress during treatment, and identify your underlying problem based on your symptoms. We use highly advanced diagnostic equipment to create images of the internal organs. There are no incisions made during noninvasive diagnostic testing.

X-rays
X-rays use electromagnetic waves to create images of internal tissues, organs, and bones on digital media or film. X-rays are noninvasive, so there are no incisions involved. They were the first diagnostic imaging test to be used. They help doctors to:
- Assess a part of the body experiencing pain and discomfort
- Help diagnose diseases
- Monitor the progress of a disease
- Check whether treatment is working
Your doctor may order an X-ray for conditions such as fractures, tumors, bone cancer, arthritis, dental problems, osteoarthritis, or infections.
EMG / NCV Studies
Electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction velocity (NCV) are electrodiagnostic tests used to diagnose neuromuscular (nerves and muscles) disorders, neuropathies, nerve injuries, motor problems, neck and spine conditions, and other conditions such as:
- Cervical spondylosis
