Conditions & Treatments
Sciatic Nerve
The sciatic nerve is the longest and widest nerve in the human body. It runs from the lower back through the buttocks and down the back of each leg, innervating the muscles of the back of the thigh and lower leg and providing sensation to the thighs, legs, and feet. Damage to the sciatic nerve is known as sciatica and can cause pain, numbness, tingling, and muscle weakness in the affected area. Treatment for sciatica includes medications, physical therapy, and in some cases, surgery.
Car Accident
If you have been involved in a car accident, it is important to seek medical attention and see a neurologist as soon as possible. A neurologist can assess for any potential traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and other neurological issues that may have resulted from the accident. They can also provide advice and treatment for any pain or other symptoms that you may be experiencing. It is important to follow up with the neurologist regularly and to follow any treatment plans they recommend in order to minimize any long-term consequences and optimize recovery.
EMG
An electromyography (EMG) is a test used to assess the health of the muscles and the nerve cells that control them. It is used to detect abnormalities, diagnose muscle and nerve diseases, and monitor the effectiveness of treatments. During an EMG, a thin needle electrode is inserted into the muscle being tested. This needle sends electrical signals to a computer, which records the signals on a graph. The results of the EMG can help diagnose a variety of medical conditions, including muscle and nerve disorders, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and muscular dystrophy.
Workers Comp
Neurology is a specialized field of medicine dealing with the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the nervous system. Workers' compensation insurance typically covers medical care related to neurological problems caused by an employee's job-related activities, including any tests, medical visits, medications, and rehabilitative therapies that may be needed. These services may be provided by a neurologist, physical therapist, occupational therapist, or other specialists depending on the specific circumstances. In some cases, workers' compensation may also cover the cost of prosthetic devices, assistive technology, and other services that may be needed to help the employee return to work.
Trigger Point Injections
Dizziness is a common neurological symptom that can be caused by a variety of conditions. These can include inner ear disorders, low blood pressure, medications, dehydration, and certain neurological diseases. It is important to speak with a doctor to determine the cause of your dizziness, as some causes may require further treatment or management. Treatment options may include medications, physical therapy, lifestyle modifications, or surgical procedures.
EGG
An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a test used to measure electrical activity in the brain. It is used to diagnose various conditions, including seizures, head injuries, sleep disorders, brain tumors, and degenerative diseases. EEGs are also helpful in diagnosing and monitoring the effects of certain medications on the brain. The test involves placing electrodes on the scalp to detect and measure electrical activity in the brain.
Neurology FAQS
-
What types of diagnostic tests are commonly used for work injuries?The type of diagnostic tests used for work injuries depends on the nature and extent of the injury. Some common tests include X-rays, MRI scans, CT scans, and ultrasounds. These tests can help identify broken bones, soft tissue damage, and other injuries.
-
What types of diagnostic tests are commonly used for car accident injuries?Diagnostic tests used for car accident injuries are similar to those used for work injuries. X-rays, CT scans, MRI scans, and ultrasounds are commonly used to diagnose injuries resulting from car accidents. In addition, some people may require specialized tests such as nerve conduction studies or electromyography (EMG) to evaluate nerve damage.
-
What types of diagnostic tests are commonly used for sports injuries?Sports injuries are typically diagnosed using a combination of physical exams and imaging tests. X-rays, MRI scans, and CT scans are commonly used to diagnose fractures, ligament tears, and other injuries. In addition, specialized tests such as arthroscopy may be used to examine joints and diagnose specific injuries.
-
How long does it take to get the results of diagnostic tests for injuries?The time it takes to get results from diagnostic tests varies depending on the type of test and the facility where it is performed. X-rays may produce immediate results, while MRI and CT scans may take several days to a week. In some cases, the results may need to be reviewed by a specialist or radiologist, which can also add to the turnaround time.
-
Can diagnostic tests be used to prevent future injuries?iagnostic tests can be used to identify pre-existing conditions or risk factors that may increase the likelihood of future injuries. For example, an MRI scan may reveal degenerative changes in a joint that could predispose a person to future injuries. This information can be used to develop preventative measures, such as physical therapy or changes to work or athletic activities, to reduce the risk of future injuries.
