Ultrasound can be used to see muscles, tendons, and joints in the body. When used during joint injections, ultrasound allows the practitioner to visualize the needle in real time as it enters the body, which increases the accuracy of delivery of the medication into the jointBeing able to see inside the joint means that tendons and nerves can be avoided therefore decreasing pain during the injection. Fluid around the joint that often impairs movement can easily be seen and removed. Tendon and cartilage abnormalities can be identified without exposing the patient to radiation therefor making ultrasound safer than other imaging techniques

A bone density test is the only test that can diagnose osteoporosis before a broken bone occurs. This test helps to estimate the density of your bones and your chance of breaking a bone. NOF recommends a bone density test of the hip and spine by a central DXA machine to diagnose osteoporosis. DXA stands for dual energy x-ray absorptiometry. Are you a postmenopausal woman or man age 50 and older? Have you recently broken a bone? If you answered “yes” to both questions, you are a candidate for DXA.
Osteopathic manipulative treatment, or OMT, is an advanced form of hands-on care. It involves using the hands to diagnose, treat, and prevent illness and injury. OMT can be used to ease pain, promote healing and increase mobility in patients of all ages and backgrounds. While it is most often used in musculoskeletal disorders, OMT can also help patients with other health problems including asthma, sinus disorders, carpal tunnel syndrome, migraines, and menstrual pain. Physicians trained in OMT are called osteopathic physicians, or DOs.
