Diagnostic Lab Tests
Injury and pain lab testing can include a variety of tests to assess the severity of a patient's injury or pain and help identify the cause of the pain.
This could include imaging tests, such as X-rays or MRI scans, or laboratory tests, such as blood tests or urine tests. In some cases, a physical exam may also be performed to check for signs of injury or pain. Additionally, a doctor may order an electrodiagnostic test, such as an electromyogram, to measure the electrical activity of muscles and nerves.
Finally, a doctor may order psychological tests, such as questionnaires, to determine if psychological factors are contributing to a patient's pain.
