Diagnosis
Properly performed meticulous diagnostic interventions (or tests) are a critical component of the process of identifying the source of pain. Utilizing an evidence-based approach, the physicians at IMAB understand the indications for and how to interpret these tests to arrive at a definitive diagnosis. Examples of these tests include:
Cervical, Thoracic and Lumbar Zygapophysial (Facet) Joint Injection
Sacroiliac Joint Complex (SIJ) Injection
Cervical, Thoracic and Lumbar Selective Nerve Root Injection
Cervical, Thoracic, and Lumbar Sympathetic Ganglion Injection
Thoracic Splanchnic Injection
Cervical, Thoracic and Lumbar Discography
Sphenopalatine Ganglion Injection
