Medical or Medicinal Support is Required to Facilitate the Best Treatment Path Through our many relationships with medical practitioners in the Dallas area, we are able to facilitate any necessary pain management or anti-inflammatory treatments. In addition, imaging and other medical studies are available to us to assist with your accurate diagnosis. Among these are MRI, CT, on-site X-ray, lab work and electrodiagnosis studies which include EMG (electromyography) and NCV (nerve condition velocities). These, in conjunction with your physical exam, allow us to make the best, most well-informed decisions regarding your path to recovery. Occasionally, in the most extreme cases, surgical intervention may be required. In these unfortunate cases, consultation referrals are made with trusted surgeons specializing in your specific condition. Your surgeon will make the final decision on whether surgical intervention is required. If surgery is opted for, appropriate pre and post-operative rehabilitation are provided through Advanced Spine, accelerating the healing process and greatly reducing the chances of difficulties due to post-procedure scar tissue formation. At Advanced Spine & Sports Medicine, we understand that dealing with doctors and insurance companies can, at times, be daunting, if not overwhelming. We make sure the lines of communication are always open and we discuss every aspect of your diagnosis and treatment with you, always working to identify the appropriate avenues of treatment and ensure you the speediest recovery.
