Aliso Viejo Orthopedic

Orthopedics is the study and treatment of damages to the musculoskeletal system. Back pain is a common indication that there is something much more serious wrong with the musculoskeletal system than just common back pain suggests, and this is why it is important for all back pain sufferers to have the cause of their back pain diagnosed. This diagnosis must be ascertained by professional use of sophisticated tests for utmost accuracy. Aliso Viejo orthopedic services are offered by a team of highly trained professionals and specialists representing the successful Performance Health Med Group.

There are a range of sophisticated tests that can be used to determine the cause of back pain, including MRI (which is Magnetic Resonance Imaging), CT (the Cat Scan), X Rays, Myelogram, Discography, EMG, Bone Density test and the Bone Scan. These tests are all performed by professionals within the Aliso Viejo Orthopedic services unit at Performance Health Med Group. It is important to make sure that back pain sufferers have the right tests to determine the cause of their back pain so that the right kind of treatment can be prescribed. Back pain can be caused by a number of things, like strenuous work, hobbies, exercise and bulging or herniated disks.

Most back pain comes with age, and over 80% of all people will experience back pain. Even 30% of those back pain sufferers will experience recurring back problems, so it advisable to have it treated before it gets any worse. Aliso Viejo Orthopedic treatment can take any of many forms – including trigger point massage, specialized chiropractic adjustments and non surgical disk decompression. Aliso Viejo Performance Health Med Group also offers a state of the art rehabilitation center for the successful rehabilitation of acute back pain sufferers. Untreated back pain can lead to severe discomfort, and, in extreme cases, even paralysis.

One of the most renowned Aliso Viejo Orthopedic services is the revolutionary new technology offered by the DRX 9000. This is a machine that offers a safe and reliable alternative to the risky open back surgery that is often recommended for the remedy of painful back trauma and discomfort. The patient simply lies down on the bed that is positioned underneath the machine, and the DRX 9000 applies a distracting force to another part of the back. This distraction force relieves the pressure build up that is usually associated with severe back pain. Patients notice a decrease in their pain levels after just one or two treatments, and recovery before ten.

All of these Aliso Viejo services are available at the Aliso Viejo Performance Health Med Group. There are also Performance Health Med Group locations at Torrance and Garden Grove. It is important for all back pain sufferers to have a correct diagnosis for both the cause and the treatment of their back pain before they receive any kind of treatment. Trust the well known name in successful orthopedics and have your back pain treatment with the professional medical specialists at Performance Health Med Group.
