Sometimes called a “slipped or ruptured “disc or sciatica, disc herniation is very common and can occur in both lower back and neck. When untreated, this can become a very serious condition often requiring surgery. If treated aggressively early on, this can be resolved successfully with physical therapy.
Almost everyone at some point in their lives will experience significant neck and back pain. It is the most common reasons people see doctors. Usually the symptoms are short-lived however anything that lasts longer than three weeks deserves medical attention.
Electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies (NCS) are electric diagnostic tests designed to provide information on muscles and nerves. At Wellness, these tests are done by Dr. Brennan, Board Certified in both Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and Electrodiagnostic Medicine.
