Diagnosis & Treatment

UOC's on-site imaging can expedite your diagnosis and treatment. You can expect your evaluation to include an interview and focused examination of the area causing you pain and/or discomfort. Further diagnostic evaluations may include x-rays or more advanced imaging or tests, such as MRI and nerve conduction studies.

Pain management can be addressed non-surgically in these and other ways:

  • Physical therapy
  • Chiropractic care
  • Multimodal medications
  • Injections and other interventional procedures
  • Non-inflammatory medications
  • Over-the-counter anti-inflammatory creams

In some cases, our pain management specialists may recommend surgery.
